Akamai said on Thursday that Anthropic will spend $11.6 billion over seven years on Akamai's cloud infrastructure, a commitment that could grow to about $20 billion. In an unusual arrangement, Akamai is giving Anthropic a potential stake of up to 5% of its stock that grows as Anthropic spends more. According to Akamai's securities filing, the commitment depends on Akamai meeting certain delivery and service-availability requirements, and either company can end the agreement under certain conditions. The deal is the largest in Akamai's history.
