Akamai and Anthropic: seven-year agreement for CPU workloads

On 24 September 2026, Akamai announced an Anthropic contractual commitment of US$11.6 billion over seven years to support growing CPU workloads. Up to US$9 billion of further expansion is potential rather than committed volume. This is a corporate announcement, not a general product offer, GPU delivery confirmation or evidence that all capacity has already been built.
