One of the biggest questions in AI today isn't capability.
It's access.
When a frontier model can be re routed, restricted, or modified by a single company, builders inherit a new dependency:
Corporate risk tolerance.
A model may be powerful.
But if access depends on classifiers, policy updates, or centralized controls, the rules can change overnight.
That's what makes
@ritualfnd 's approach interesting to me.
Instead of placing a vendor between applications and inference,
@ritualnet enables open weight models to run inside TEEs through its LLM precompile.
The trust assumption shifts from corporate policy to verifiable infrastructure.
This isn't an argument against safeguards.
It's an argument for neutrality.
Because the future of AI shouldn't depend entirely on which requests a single company decides are acceptable.
Powerful intelligence matters.
Reliable access matters too.
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.
