Anthropic and Akamai Technologies signed a seven-year, $11.6 billion computing power contract to further expand the data center layout. Under the agreement, Akamai will provide CPU computing power to Anthropic. In recent years, as CPUs have been used to support AI services, data centers have seen an increase in demand for such general-purpose chips. Akamai also issued warrants to Anthropic, which has the right to purchase Series B shares at $111.33 per share, which can be converted into 7.7 million Akamai common shares. This is further cooperation after the two sides reached an agreement on computing power of 1.8 billion US dollars earlier this year. As customer demand for the Claude model has surged in recent months, Anthropic has been purchasing computing power resources on a large scale. Partners include Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet, and SpaceX, owned by Musk.
