Akamai offers Akamai Inference Cloud, a distributed platform that lets businesses run AI models closer to end users by spreading computing power across thousands of edge locations worldwide, reducing delays and costs compared to centralized cloud providers. The service launched in October 2025 and targets organizations looking to deploy AI in real-world production environments.

Akamai Inference Cloud runs on Akamai's globally distributed network of over 4,200 locations and integrates with NVIDIA's AI Enterprise ecosystem, including Triton, TensorRT, and NVIDIA BlueField DPUs. The platform supports large language model (LLM) inference and predictive AI workloads, with use cases including video intelligence, context-aware chatbots, personalized product recommendations, and AI-powered consumer products. In March 2025, Akamai announced a version highlighting 3x throughput improvement and 86% lower cost than traditional hyperscale infrastructure.
