Davidson in a research note. The latest agreement also includes an option for Anthropic to expand the commitment by up to an additional $9 billion over the same period, analysts Rudy Kessinger and Benjamin Smith add. They haven't yet updated their estimates for Akamai, saying they need a bit more time to digest the numbers.
