Claude Max "5x" and "20x" Face Refiled Class Action Over Session and Weekly Caps, Report Says
The Verge reports a refiled class action alleging Anthropic's Claude Max tiers ($100 for "5x", $200 for "20x") did not make clear the multipliers cover five-hour sessions under a weekly cap. Allegations, not findings. Read any multiplier as a window, not a month.
Cognition Raises Over $2B at a $48B Valuation, Says Run-Rate Nearly Doubled Since May
Cognition raised over $2B at a $48B valuation, led by Andreessen Horowitz and Accel, and says run-rate revenue grew from $492M to almost $900M since May. No directory verdict moves.
Industry
Make's paid tiers now list about 25% below our May record: $9, $16, $29
Make's three paid tiers all list below our May record: Core $12 to $9, Pro $21 to $16, Teams $38 to $29, each showing 10,000 credits a month. Make also switched its billing unit to credits on August 27, so the allowance is not a like-for-like comparison.
Pricing
DeepSeek V4 peak billing is weekdays only: 35 hours a week, not 49
DeepSeek's rate card scopes its 2x peak window to Monday through Friday. Our entries said "seven daily peak hours", which overstated the expensive window by 14 hours a week on both V4 Pro and V4 Flash.
