Anthropic’s fear mongering has finally backfired. The US government ordered them to suspend all foreign access to Fable and Mythoc: www.anthropic.com/news/fable-mythos-access Well, I’m not sure this has properly backfired. They will probably struggling to serve the models to everyone, and they were probably losing a lot of money on everyone with subscription access using Fable for the free trial period. Now they get all the benefits and hype of having released the model, without having to pay the insane costs! (Well, depending on how much flexibility they have in their GPU cloud access). If this blows over in a few weeks it will probably be worthwhile for the hype “Our models are so dangerous the government had to ban foreign access”. Also, funnily enough the US banning foreign access to their models was a major plot point in the Europe 2031 booster fanfic I recently boosted. Of course there, it was a massive point of leverage against Europe and led to immense value loss to the Europeans, where irl Fable/Mythos are just another incremental step (if even that much) being marketed very well.
