Anthropic's AI just slashed chip-switching from months to days.

AI startup Anthropic claims it has dramatically reduced the time and effort needed to run its Claude model on different chip architectures by using AI itself. According to the company, it successfully ported Claude to AMD GPUs in just three days with minimal human intervention, a process that traditionally keeps dozens of engineers busy for months. It achieved this by using its own advanced AI model, Mythos, to write or port nearly all the necessary low-level computing kernels.

If accurate, this breakthrough could significantly erode Nvidia's primary competitive advantage: its CUDA software ecosystem that locks developers to its hardware. It would give AI companies the flexibility to shop for the best price-performance ratio across different chip vendors, potentially lowering Nvidia's dominant 70%+ profit margins in the AI chip market. Anthropic's multi-chip strategy treats compute from different vendors as an interchangeable pool, aiming to squeeze more performance from every dollar spent.
