Chip Maker Micron Partners With AI Company to Build Faster Memory

Micron, which makes computer memory chips, and Anthropic, an AI company, announced a partnership on June 22. The key: Micron will see exactly how Anthropic's AI systems use memory—like watching how someone uses a kitchen—and design better chips based on what it learns. AI is bottlenecked by memory speed, not processing power. This partnership gives Micron an edge over rivals Samsung and SK Hynix.
