That was just one settlement but precedent is clear. If you do what Anthropic and OpenAI did, expect to be in court. This is one reason why you don’t see labs popping up out of nowhere in the US.

Also if you distill from Anthropic and OpenAI, expect to be in court. Whether you think distillation is fair game or not, the US court system is not cheap. But it turns out that Z.ai, Minimax, Moonshot, Xiaomi, Deepseek, Alibaba etc don’t need to worry about that.
