Hand-rolled, kettle-boiled, baked to perfection. Worth every minute at the bakery.
Summary
The Trump administration ordered Anthropic to shut down its most advanced AI models (Fable 5 and Mythos 5) over the weekend, blocking access for all foreign nationals including the company's own employees. The sudden, sweeping action with little warning has served as a wake-up call for other nations about US dominance over frontier AI technology, spurring sovereign AI development efforts worldwide as countries seek to reduce dependence on American-controlled AI systems.
