Anthropic has entered into a reported $12 billion agreement with Akamai Technologies for AI computing services, exceeding the companies’ previous $1.8 billion contract. The deal is expected to expand Anthropic’s AI infrastructure through Akamai’s distributed cloud platform (cloud capacity spread across multiple locations), including advanced NVIDIA GPUs. Financial Juice reported the agreement as Anthropic continues to grow, strengthening Akamai’s position in AI infrastructure. Market pricing suggests greater confidence in Anthropic reaching higher valuation targets by year-end, while its expansion and partnerships support scenarios involving a valuation increase. Investors will watch for new funding, increased investment from Amazon and Google, Nasdaq Private Market valuation reports, AI product advances and additional enterprise contracts.
