@Tech_babby The US edge in AI isn’t just talent. It’s capital, compute, chips, research labs, and the ability to burn billions before profit. Africa can absolutely build useful AI products, but rivaling Claude scale frontier models needs frontier-level infrastructure.
@blesynnenna True, i’m genuinely concerned for builders who are building from diaspora but have very limited knowledge of building cost, especially without a BoQ.
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.

This is so true. But also homeowners genuinely can’t tell a fair quote from an inflated one, so they panic at every number, even honest ones.
That’s actually the gap we at Landalyst work on: an independent check on what a build stage should cost at current market prices, so that good builder’s quote gets confirmed as fair, and the client relaxes.
Helps the honest builders as much as the clients.
