Anthropic eyes Fractile chips to widen supplier base

If the talks advance, Anthropic would add another supplier to a chip stack that already includes Google, Amazon, and Nvidia. That matters because inference capacity depends on reliable chip access, and supplier diversification can reduce dependence on any single vendor. For the broader AI video stack, chip sourcing is still a core constraint on how quickly models can be deployed and scaled. Watch for any confirmation of a Fractile supply deal, since the article only says Anthropic is considering the startup as a new supplier.
