Business
Anthropic, the team behind Claude AI, might be teaming up with MatX, a chip startup founded by former Google engineers.
After considering a $7 billion buyout, Anthropic is now leaning toward partnership to build its own AI hardware and rely less on NVIDIA's GPUs.
MatX is seeking to raise new capital at a valuation of about $4 billion.
