A post reacting to the Anthropic copyright settlement says the $1.5 billion deal is ‘269x’ DeepSeek V3’s training cost.
The underlying news is that a federal judge approved what is described as the largest copyright class settlement in U.S. history: Anthropic will pay authors $1.5 billion over claims that books were used as Claude training data. Preliminary approval had come last September.
