Lawsuit filed in the US alleges illegal agreement among major AI companies to slow development

A lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleges that Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceXAI, and Google made an illegal agreement to slow their AI development. The plaintiffs, who are subscribers to AI services, argue that this coordination violates antitrust laws and reduces the value of their subscriptions. The lawsuit centers on a public call for a slowdown made by Anthropic's CEO, which was supported by leaders from the other companies involved.
