The recent decision by
#Anthropic to shut down global access to Mythos 5 and Fable 5, just days after their launch, wasn’t a big surprise to me.
When
#AI becomes this powerful and this important, putting all control in the hands of a few centralized companies will always carry risks that no one can fully predict or contain.
I’ve long felt that true decentralization in AI is having in a new MOAT in upcoming months.
Below are some projects I’ve been keeping a close watch on.
>
@opentensor |
$Tao: Permissionless intelligence network that no one can shut down. Pumped hard after the news.
>
@AskVenice |
$VVV: Privacy-focused and uncensored AI, serving as a strong alternative for users restricted by centralized models.
>
@gensynai |
$Gensyn: Decentralized machine learning training across global GPUs, not controlled by any single country.
>
@Fetch_ai |
$Fet: Full ecosystem combining autonomous AI agents and decentralized data marketplaces.
>
@ionet |
$IO: Decentralized
#GPU network for inference and training as a substitute when centralized options are restricted.
>
@rendernetwork |
$Render: Decentralized GPU compute, easily accessible on a global scale.
>
@nosana_ai |
$Nos: Decentralized inference network built on Solana.
>
@OpenGradient |
$OPG: Secure and verifiable on-chain inference with NeuroML (Solidity AI framework) and verifiable AI agents.
>
@virtuals_io |
$VirtualL: On-chain tokenized AI agents with permissionless ownership and monetization
>
@PhalaNetwork |
$PHA: Privacy-preserving confidential compute for AI, resistant to external control.
>
@NEARProtocol |
$Near: Aggressively building infrastructure for agentic commerce and AI agents on L1.
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.
