What is that claim based on?

Check the pricing on OpenRouter. V4 Pro is twice as expensive from the next cheapest provider and 3.5x as expensive for fp8 (as opposed to fp4) from a US provider.

But I assume they're just harvesting training data since there's par for the course. There are also a handful of US labs offering free access for that exact reason.
