This is big: all access to Mythos and Fable AI models disabled for everyone outside America.
First thoughts:
1. Technology is the ultimate weapon. National sovereignty, national security, all of it is now about technology.
2. Globalization is dead and Bharat must find her own way ahead.
We must keep these two ideas in mind.
What can our government do right now? Ensure that orgs in India embrace smaller models, both Indian and Chinese open source ones. With a bit of effort, we can make them work. Anyway, why pay money to people who don't even want to sell to you?
We must deepen our R&D. Sarvam has been on it and we have been on it but remember that the latest models cost not only huge GPU budgets to train, the GPUs themselves are restricted. So we can't afford the scale of money (of the order of $100 billion to even get in the game!) and even if we could come up with the money, we can't get all the GPUs. I would not like to ask the government to fund tens of billions of dollars on this anyway - the money has far better uses.
Zoho has been pursuing alternative R&D approaches that are far, far less expensive but by its nature cutting edge R&D takes time and we are patient. I am confident we will get there.
Any remaining people in India who have delusions about globalization should wake up now.

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.

Confidential Intents fixes this
A May '25 tweet claims @IOHK_Charles sold ~1.5B ADA in the '21 hype cycle, plus 10x 20M payments to @gavofyork.
Rather than take its word, i wanted to check the chain.
Tracing funds is hard, but those x10 20M payments are a solid place to start:

This is step one in our five step plan to bring confidential perps trading to the masses. You're not ready for what's next.

Hyperliquid perps are now live on near.com.
Deposit any asset from 35 chains directly into @HyperliquidX to access 50 markets with up to 40x leverage.
What’s next: confidential perps. Today is step one. 🧵

If you're a fund looking to build a long term $NEAR position and still on the fence, me and my team are more than happy to inform your thesis.
Also happy to help teams think holistically about using privacy-first trading primitives and scaling up with NEAR Intents.
DMs open.

ZODL NEAR Intents ZEC

ZEC as a "home base" is underrated.
@near_intents lets you privately allocate capital to any asset on any chain soon you'll be able to lend and borrow from most Zcash wallets.
@zodl_app lets you spend ZEC anywhere any cryptocurrency is accepted.
Zcash is your safe place.

There is a token at the intersection of privacy and AI that has:
- a fully vested total supply
- a GOATed founder who wrote the groundbreaking Transformers paper
- a universal liquidity layer for Zcash
- an inference service for Venice
- real revenue and PMF with Intents
