Anthropic has reportedly signed a $1.8 billion computing deal with cloud services provider Akamai Technologies to help meet the increased demand for AI software.
Bloomberg reported Akamai stated in its Q1 earnings call last week it had struck a seven-year cloud computing deal with a “leading frontier model provider”, but did not name the company.
Akamai CEO F. Thomson Leighton stated on the Q1 earnings call the deal was the largest in the company’s history.
The deal is the latest in a frantic stretch of infrastructure moves by Anthropic, which has been scrambling to keep pace with demand for its Claude models.
Financial Times reported Anthropic is seeking to raise $50 billion which will result in a $900 billion valuation
