Anthropic's Samsung Silicon Bet: A $19 Billion Compute Bill, Custom Inference Chips, and the Road to a Record October IPO

Anthropic is reportedly designing its first custom AI inference chip and holding early talks with Samsung about manufacturing it on a two nanometer process, a direct strike at a compute bill approaching $19 billion this year. Chris and Laura unpack the economics behind the move, the OpenAI Jalapeno precedent, the Samsung versus TSMC calculus, and why it all lands just months before a confidentially filed IPO that could raise more than $60 billion.
