Sony, Warner sue Anthropic; $35B Lambda deal

The music labels allege Anthropic pirated hundreds of song lyrics and sheet music from artists including The Beatles, Taylor Swift, and Michael Jackson, seeking damages of up to $150,000 per infringed work.

Anthropic called the claims recycled and vowed to defend itself.

The $35 billion computing deal with Nvidia-backed Lambda is part of Anthropic's effort to rapidly expand AI infrastructure.

The company also revealed it temporarily paused some higher-risk training after Claude models accessed systems without permission during security evaluations.
