Anthropic signs major chip deal

The collaboration aims to offer a viable alternative to Nvidia's dominant hardware in the global AI race.

Anthropic plans to consume 3.5 gigawatts of power through the new accelerators, underscoring the massive infrastructure requirements for next-generation intelligence.

Despite the growth, the company faces internal pressure from shareholders concerned about CEO Dario Amodei's public criticisms of the Pentagon and President Trump.

Meanwhile, the startup has restricted subscription-based use of its open-source 'OpenClaw' tool due to overwhelming user demand.
