Any recommandations for an actively maintained AI user-agent list please ?

This is not perfect but I use that trick to block or slow down some of them... If you have a better way I'm all ears.

Does user agents even matter when most don't even say what they are.

Thanks for the link, I will compare the user-agent regex they use like this one for Claude and the list I've build over time.

They match IP range too, it may be a nice addition too.
