@recursive_wave@Teknium@NVIDIAAI realistically, how long will it take for the spark to be outdated/obsolete?
basically my question is: is building for the spark the best approach?
contrary to the default reaction on this little website, this is absolutely incredible news for anthropic.
i mean obviously yes, the operational disruption is real. but public & world perception wise, this could not be a bigger home run. could be a grand slam type situation.
the fucking united states govt just looked at their model & effectively said.. yeah this shit is too powerful. you simply cannot buy that kind of aura. it elevates every other product by the company & it instantly reframes anthropic’s work as strategically significant, nationally relevant, & qualitatively different from the rest of the field.
there is not a single institution on the planet that can buy or orchestrate this type of significance.
absolutely ridiculous.
Fable isn't the first.
In 1999 the department of defense blocked exports of the PowerMac G4 for crossing the 1 gigaflop threshold.
Steve Jobs turned it into an ad.
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 the first time anthropic has attempted something new:
implement guardrails at the model level
i think this was a quick-fix approach, to enable them to launch before they IPO.
we'll soon see evidence of why this doesn't work.
