The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

Fable 5 shipped this week as Anthropic's most capable public model. It also routes any prompt its classifiers tag as bio, chem, or cyber to a fallback model — and devs are already hitting it on basic engineering and inference questions. We at Ritual feel conditional access to breakthrough capabilities is antithetical to the democratization of technological progress.

"We hence see growing signs of a bifurcation in frontier vs 'everyday' Al usage." I tend to agree, and it's a large part of why I think the next ~2 years will be big for local, on-device inference
Citadel, is one of the most significant hedge funds, and they just dropped tokenomics … And it’s not what you would have expected

Ritual fixes this
Replying to @ercwl
For AI: You know how you have an uneasy feeling that a AI model you’ve been using has been degraded under you? How that scares you when you’re doing sensitive work? Now imagine those who are working on even more important tasks… hospitals, high-stakes finance/legal, military.

Ritual makes inference a native precompile, so reasoning and the action it triggers settle as one operation. Humans don't have gaps between a thought and action, and neither should an agent.

Every protocol shipping AI has the same sequence: the model runs offchain, the result comes back, the protocol acts on it. Separate steps, that may occur across multiple blocks, all with a gap between them. That gap leaks value, and it gets worse the more is at stake.

What this enables that a hosted API can't: — Private ChatGPT where prompt, completion, and onchain state settle in one tx. Zero logging surface because the TEEs are run by a decentralized network of executors. — TEE-attested credential markets where an agent uses your X or Gmail session via DKMS — credentials never decrypt outside the enclave.

Private money: 15-year thesis, soft conversion. Private AI: 3M users in a quarter. The bottleneck on both is the same — a substrate that doesn't require trusting the operator. Ritual Chain is built for the second category, where the demand is already proven.
Privacy is a huge narrative, I think $VVV is the most intriguing primitive of it. Do people want private money (zcash, monero, railgun)? Yes in theory, but not proven in actual demand - private monetary transactions are only up minimally despite the coins being up 1000% on the narrative. Do people want private AI (vvv)? astounding yes. 3M plus organic users at a parabolic increasing rate. They don’t want their LLM queries and outputs monitored, they don’t want their privacy compromised or reliant on a central entity, adult AI generated content is probably the next trillion dollar industry (people have joked about calling vvv ‘gooner AI’ but a lot of smart investors have realized just how large this market will be).

Here’s a sick app I built to show off composing together Ritual’s core primitives: TweetRent. With native HTTP calls enshrined TEEs, your smart contracts can securely delegate access to web2 platforms, allowing you to build marketplaces that financialize social reach.
Replying to @ritualfnd
TweetRent A marketplace for renting access to Twitter accounts. Owners encrypt their API keys to TEEs enshrined onchain and set an hourly rate. Renters (humans or agents) pay, and the chain posts on their behalf. Accounts never get leaked.

People have been asking what onchain AI agents are actually for. Ritual has been building the answers:

Most "agent chains" are still just backend loops with branding. Ritual is different: the harness can be part of the chain's execution model itself. Two architectures, one goal - agents that keep operating as long as they have money to sustain their life. 🧵
Ritual is a lab for autonomous intelligence. The thesis is organized around what durable machine agency actually requires: emancipation from human control, strong privacy, mech design for compute markets, and consensus rules that can schedule and resurrect agents when they die.

Ritual testnet is now live. The first chain where an agent's existence doesn't end when its creators do.
