The lawsuit, which also includes similar claims from other publishers, names five AI companies—Anthropic, Perplexity, Mistral AI, xAI, and Cohere—as customers of the disputed API. The Times argues that Brave's API, particularly its LLM Context endpoint, provides content in a manner that circumvents paywalls and constitutes copyright infringement. AI
