Anthropic signed a content licensing deal with the AP before the US midterms, Adweek reports

Anthropic signed a content and data licensing deal with the Associated Press shortly before the US midterm elections, Adweek reported, citing two people familiar with the matter. It is the first time Anthropic has paid a digital news publisher to license its content. On election night, users who asked Claude for the latest polling data saw up-to-date information supplied by and credited to the AP. The price, length and other terms were not disclosed; Anthropic did not respond to a request for comment, and the AP did not comment on the record. Adweek noted that OpenAI has signed more than a dozen such deals with publishers, while Anthropic had not signed one with a news publisher until now.
