Imposing a licensing system on models for limiting domestic use should require an act of congress but I mean obviously we're well past that red line.

Regulatory agencies limit uses of other products without acts of congress-- cigarettes, vapes, drugs, pesticides, chemicals, explosives. Even firearms, despite a constitutional amendment! Why not models? (Note I am not arguing it's a good idea; I'm making a narrow argument that there is precedent.) EDIT: I agree that it should require an act of Congress to explicitly delegate this power.

Why would they allow Mythos but not Fable? Fable is the one with more guardrails.

They only allow it for specific companies and agencies, which are trusted with the less restricted model. The general public is still not trusted to use Fable, apparently.

Fairly certain all those have "acts of congress" attached to them. I mean, it used to take a constitutional amendment to make something illegal but now we have tons of agencies responsible for regulating all the things. Plus, they're relying on the "math is a weapon" law to ban "export" of the models.

It has never taken a constitutional amendment to make something illegal.

This appears to be only for Mythos 5 access, NOT Fable 5.

Aren't these the same models?

Mythos doesn't have the strict safeguards of Fable and is only accessible by a very small number of pre-approved companies.

Under the hood, yes, but Mythos had more relaxed safeguards and was/is only available to a subset of approved customers under Project Glasswing, similar to the situation with GPT-5.6 now.

Fable was available to me as a normal person using Claude.ai

Mythos never was and I don’t think that’s changing.
