Akamai expands its AI Cloud platform with dedicated inference and agent execution environments

Akamai Technologies Inc. is expanding its AI Cloud infrastructure platform with two new foundational components, Akamai Inference and Akamai Agent Sandbox. The new offerings aim to provide enterprise customers with a highly customizable managed environment to serve and execute artificial intelligence workloads and agents on any infrastructure, from cloud data centers to the network edge.

Akamai Inference offers a managed service with access to dozens of open-weight and custom AI models through OpenAI-compatible APIs, allowing teams to deploy new AI applications and agents at the edge without rewriting any code. The Akamai Agent Sandbox, on the other hand, is an isolated execution space for running AI agents securely, with granular control over various aspects of their operation to ensure they never overstep their boundaries.
