A federal judge approved Anthropic's $1.5B settlement with authors over pirated training data, which the post calls the largest copyright payout on record.
In the same thread, Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 5 is highlighted as a $2/$10-per-million-tokens model, pitched as near-Opus 4.8 performance at roughly one-third the cost and made the default for Free and Pro users immediately.
