Has anyone else noticed the weekly utilisation dropping to 0% around this change? Mine was about 36 before and dropped a bit before disabling fable.

Yes, I had to start using more fable to not waste all that usage by Sunday and figured I broke it myself.

Sovereign AI is about to get hot. It's difficult to predict this administrations actions, but given it included employees that has to be a huge risk for Google, where Deepmind is based in London. Cohere (Canada) and Mistral (France) are going to get a lot of interest.

We’re all just going to use Opus, GPT or Gemini let’s be honest

For large corporates and other entities of any size, the threat of the core of your infrastructure getting suddenly disabled because of something like this is going to be untenable. I predict the pressures for on-prem, offline access (whether by licensing weights or getting them in a restricted setting like TEE/CC) will be overwhelming and one the players will fill the need.

This is ignoring the fact that the government is the foundation of society (I know some will disagree with that, but the end result is just government with more steps).

Private models in a low trust society means the government will come and seize the models. Competitive business will only be allowed through cronyism.

The better option is to opt for high trust. Yes the Gman can rip your servers apart, but they know they'll face consequences, legal and political. Laws and regulations are the answer, not locking down into smaller fiefdoms.

Finally they will pay for all the scaremongering they been doing to sell their models as something so much ahead of all else. Now they finally found the right fools in audience to believe it.

They obviously want heavy regulation to make sure they do not have to compete long term. This is all just part of the base strategy.

It would be very funny if the UK were to put export controls on Gemini 3.5 Pro.

“Here is our superhuman, scary, frontier model that needs special safeguards to stop it developing WMDs! Buy it now, use the code ASI20 to get 20% off your first month!”

“Wait what do you mean you’re banning it?”

They had better give me a refund!

I do not trust Anthropic anymore. They put in silent guardrails, reverted them later after people complained to save face, were loud and obnoxious about how their models are dangerous and should be regulated, and now this. Too much drama for a typical end-user. I'm sticking to alternatives even if they have a bit more smarter (for now) model than others.

Dario has always prattled on about how Anthropic is more safe than OpenAI and made a big point about guardrails and protecting society from “AGI”. This is the consequences. Some people actually drink the kool aid, especially bureaucrats and bigco lawyers (basically the same group).

Not to mention intelligence agencies look for any information advantage they can get to influence policy.
