Anthropic will spend $11.6 billion over seven years on Akamai cloud capacity built around CPUs, if Akamai meets delivery and availability targets. Akamai has to build that capacity first, for a customer that can end the contract under certain conditions.
Reality
Akamai gave Anthropic warrants on up to 5% of its stock at $111.33 a share, with 3% vesting only as Anthropic spends up to $9 billion more on its cloud. Existing holders fund that volume rebate, whose value to Anthropic rises with every dollar Akamai's shares trade above the strike.
