Anthropic signed its first licensing agreement with a news publisher, the Associated Press, according to Adweek citing two people familiar with the matter. The arrangement allowed Claude to display live AP election results on election night with source attribution. Anthropic had previously rejected such deals and argued scraping was fair use, while publishers blocked its crawlers. OpenAI already has more than a dozen publisher deals, and AP was also the first licensing partner for Google and OpenAI.
