Anthropic要造自己的芯片了,并且和马斯克一样选择了三星而非台积电。

The Information援引三位知情人士的消息称,Anthropic已经启动了自研AI芯片的早期工作,正在与三星讨论用后者最先进的2纳米工艺和封装技术来制造这款芯片。

上述知情人士说,Anthropic还在确定芯片的功能、性能指标,以及它在服务器或集群里的适配方案。目前,该公司已经与多家设计服务商开始勾兑,但远没到详细设计、测试和量产那一步。知情人士也提醒,Anthropic仍有可能中途放弃。

公开资料显示,Anthropic的芯片团队已经开始搭建。比如,该公司在6月9日挖来了OpenAI定制芯片团队的早期成员克莱夫·陈(Clive Chan)。

Anthropic在自研芯片上对外表态非常谨慎,只强调将来的算力扩张依然主要依赖于AWS的Trainium、谷歌的TPU和英伟达的GPU,至于自己的芯片路线图则不做评论。

其实,Anthropic自研芯片的想法几个月前就有风声了。路透社4月份曾报道,Claude的计算需求跑得太快,可用算力跟不上,Anthropic开始考虑自己造芯片。但当时还只是初步设想。现在看,事情往前迈了一步。

需要注意,Anthropic下场造芯的消息被披露,正值全球芯片股连续经历了两个交易日暴跌的节点。费城半导体指数两日累计跌幅接近12%,为6月5日以来最大。存储芯片股受创尤为严重,三星电子隔夜下跌9.1%,闪迪下跌14.1%。

01 一场融资埋下的伏笔,与三星代工业务的突围战

三星成为Anthropic的合作伙伴,并不令人意外。

今年5月,Anthropic完成了650亿美元H轮融资,三星电子作为战略投资者参与其中,一起入局的还有SK海力士和美光科技这两家存储芯片巨头。

当时存储芯片供应紧张,苹果等消费电子制造商被迫提价,这笔投资的一个直接好处,是把Anthropic和它增长离不开的芯片供应商绑在了一起。

但三星的算盘不止于财务回报。

这家公司在存储芯片领域是王者,在代工领域却一直落后于台积电。台积电的先进产线依然是尖端AI芯片的行业标准,但眼下AI芯片需求让台积电产能吃紧,这正好给了三星用2纳米技术抢客户的机会。

据The Information报道,谷歌已经在考虑把未来部分TPU交给三星来生产。如果能再拿下Anthropic,对三星代工业务来说,是一场意义重大的胜利。

两位知情人士透露,Anthropic正在评估三星的2纳米制造工艺和先进封装设施。“2纳米”是业界最先进的芯片制造技术之一,它让处理器更密集、更节能。先进封装则是把主处理器放到离高速内存更近的地方,让数据在芯片内部跑得更快。

三星是英伟达HBM内存、LPU芯片制造伙伴,反过来,三星也靠英伟达的软件来生产芯片。两家公司正在韩国合建一座AI芯片工厂。Anthropic要是加入客户名单,三星在先进制程上追赶台积电就多了一枚筹码。

三星之所以敢于争取Anthropic,背后是韩国对半导体产业的举国押注。

韩国政府近期宣布了一项由三星集团(三星电子母公司)和SK集团(SK海力士母公司)主导的十年投资计划,两家公司合计投入5180亿美元,在韩国建四座存储芯片工厂。

仅三星一家,7月2日就公布了针对忠清地区的投资方案,规模超过140万亿韩元,约合900亿美元。其中,三星电子将在忠清和温阳建下一代HBM生产基地,新增五条产线。AI热潮以来,HBM一直供不应求,扩产后三星未来几年可增加数十亿美元收入。三星电机则扩大世宗市的AI服务器封装基板产能,同步投入先进封装技术研发。

三星参与Anthropic的融资轮,赌的就是成为后者的长期硬件伙伴。

02 推理芯片,一个烧钱闭环的破局点

Anthropic的首颗2nm芯片,预计和OpenAI一样,聚焦于推理。

定制推理芯片能让Anthropic的模型跑得更快、功耗更低、云账单更省,还能专门为Claude做硬件优化。

此前,OpenAI已经选择博通设计一款名为“Jalapeño”的推理芯片,目标是更高效运行大语言模型。OpenAI称该芯片能效更高,每瓦性能优于竞品。

谷歌有TPU,亚马逊有Trainium,微软有Maia,Meta也在搞自研。Anthropic差不多是最后一个还在完全用别人芯片的主要AI实验室。这个领域的自主控制权,诱惑太大了。

今年2月份,Anthropic CEO达里奥·阿莫迪接受播客主持人德瓦克什·帕特尔(Dwarkesh Patel)专访时,曾聊过算力决策的逻辑。

阿莫迪说:“如果我假设收入继续每年10倍增长,到2026年底就是1000亿,2027年底就是1万亿。我可以据此订购1万亿美元的算力。但万一判断错了呢?如果增长倍数是5倍不是10倍呢?如果2027年收入只有8000亿不是1万亿,那我就破产了。没有任何对冲能救得了我。”

所以,阿莫迪必须给Anthropic找到一个平衡点:算力要买够,确保能接住高增长的局面,但也不能过度扩张,以至于增速一旦放缓,前期投入就会把自己压垮。

阿莫迪透露,今年全球建的算力大概10到15吉瓦,每年大约翻3倍,到2028或2029年,行业每年砸进去的算力投入就会到数万亿美元。他认为,这个数字就是行业正在走的趋势。

自研芯片,等于在这个赌局里追加筹码。

一方面,自研芯片可以在推理上的效率每提升一点,在几吉瓦规模的集群里就能省下一大笔成本。另一方面,当各家都在争抢处理器、数据中心和电力时,手里有自己的芯片,谈判时底气也会多几分。

03 供应链“套娃”:谁在依赖谁?

Anthropic想要芯片独立,但这张网反而越织越密。

程序员本尼·莱姆(Benny Lam)在社交媒体上指出了一个现象:每家美国AI实验室都在找亚洲代工厂合作定制芯片,结果不是摆脱依赖,而是把供应链绑得更紧了。

Anthropic需要三星的晶圆厂来减少对英伟达的依赖,英伟达需要三星的晶圆厂来满足不断扩展的产能需求。而三星则需要同时留住这两家大客户,才能让自己的代工业务在与台积电的竞争中保持活力。

三方捆在一起,谁也离不开谁。

莱姆评论说,定制芯片的趋势本应让AI实验室获得更多独立能力,但每一家美国实验室与亚洲代工厂的新合作,都在让这个网络变得更密,也更难拆解。

科技博主瓦伊哈夫·西辛蒂(Vaibhav Sisinty)也注意到了三星在这局棋里的特殊角色。

他写道,三星投Anthropic那轮650亿美元的融资,不止是为了财务回报。三星是芯片制造商、内存供应商、先进封装厂,它的投资押的是成为Anthropic的硬件伙伴。每天几百万次查询,Anthropic每次调用都要为计算资源付钱,账单是个天文数字。谁能控制自己的推理芯片,谁就控制了扩展速度和成本。

04 英伟达的城墙依然坚固

设计一款有竞争力的AI芯片极其复杂,架构、软件、制造、测试、大规模部署,每一环都省不了时间。Anthropic短期内不可能甩开现有的硬件伙伴。

从Anthropic当前的算力布局来看,其策略已经十分清晰。这家公司始终坚持多云租用的路线,并未像OpenAI或xAI那样单独绑定英伟达的硬件。它同时使用亚马逊、谷歌和英伟达的芯片,并正在与微软以及英国初创公司Fractile洽谈芯片合作。

Anthropic与亚马逊和谷歌的绑定尤其深。

2026年4月,Anthropic扩大与AWS的合作,承诺未来十年投入超过1000亿美元,锁定5吉瓦的新算力容量,涵盖Trainium2、Trainium3、Trainium4等定制芯片。亚马逊累计投给Anthropic的资金已达数十亿美元。

与此同时,Anthropic又和谷歌、博通签了长期协议,从2027年起获得约3.5吉瓦的下一代TPU算力。此前在2025年,双方已经签过数百亿美元的协议,涉及百万级TPU和超过1吉瓦的容量。

Claude也是少数同时在AWS、谷歌云和Azure上都能用的前沿模型。

这还不算完。2026年5月,Anthropic从xAI手里租下了SpaceX Colossus 1算力集群的全部容量。

这个集群在孟菲斯数据中心,塞了超过22万块英伟达GPU,功率超过300兆瓦,月租金约12.5亿美元。合同总价值数百亿美元,一直签到2029年左右。双方甚至讨论在轨道上部署多吉瓦算力的设想。

广泛布局、多供应商并行,这是Anthropic分散风险的方式。

但在当前,牌桌上的庄家还是英伟达。据The Information估计,尽管推理芯片市场的融资和设计活动持续升温,英伟达近年来的市场份额反而上升至74%。CEO黄仁勋始终坚称,在推理任务上,英伟达的芯片比任何替代方案都更高效。
