on sept 15 2008, lehman brothers collapsed and gave the whole world a reason to believe in $BTC on june 12 2026, a single government order forced anthropic to pull its most capable models offline for every foreign national on earth, and gave the whole world a reason to believe in bittensor:native humans only react to negative things. sad but true. in 2008 we learned the banks were the problem. in 2026 we’ll learn that one kill switch sitting inside a centralised AI lab is the problem.

Presumably, so long as there are network participants, it would be roughly equivalent to trying to exterminate all ants on planet earth. Good luck.

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…

While labs compete for government contracts, we're building something they can't bid on: AI that no single entity controls. No Department of War deals. No supply chain risks. No centralized redlines. Just decentralized intelligence, running on Bittensor. τ

INSIGHT: $TAO surged 17.2%, partly driven by growing demand for decentralized AI alternatives following the suspension of Claude’s Fable 5.

We are not building decentralised AI because it sounds better. We are building it because the off switch cannot belong to one hand. If AI is going to run the economy, you cannot have it gated behind one API, one vendor, one jurisdiction, or one policy mood. Viva la bittensor:native

A huge thank you to @taostats, our Diamond Sponsor and Title Sponsor of the Bittensor Track for the second year running. This year, Taostats took over the Da Vinci Stage and helped give Bittensor a true home at Proof of Talk. From the main stage keynote to the workshop, with a major focus on agentic AI and its synergies with Bittensor, Taostats brought incredible energy, depth, and presence throughout the summit. Together with Taostats, @hippius_subnet, @blockmachine_io, and @vidaio_, the ecosystem showed up in force. Grateful to @mogmachine and the whole Taostats team for believing in what we’re building and helping make the Bittensor Track one of the standout moments of Proof of Talk.
