Anthropic is paying $500,000-$850,000 right now to research engineers who are teaching its AI models how to design silicon chips, but just a fraction of this renumeration to the silicon engineers actually building those chips, and that too with nearly identical skillset requirements We reported back in May that Anthropic’s passing remarks on “logic chips” […]
