Serenity (@aleabitoreddit) — Akamai's $11.6B Anthropic deal pre-buys memory ahead of a stated AI slowdown

Puts numbers behind the Akamai–Anthropic headline — a 7-year $11.6B compute deal, ~$5.5B of capex to service it, $1.7B pulled into 2026 to pre-buy memory — a non-Micron data point for the memory demand case (attributed; Akamai's 8-K terms not independently read).
