Anthropic’s Fable fiasco leaves the door open for open-source AI, particularly cheaper models from China

The U.S. government’s decision to stop Anthropic from offering its Mythos 5 and Fable 5 models to non-U.S. nationals may end up providing a big boost to the adoption of open-source models, including those from Chinese AI labs like DeepSeek and Moonshot AI.

Users can download open-source models and run them on their own computers or cloud networks, effectively sidestepping the ability of both AI developers and governments to control access. These models can also be more easily fine-tuned by developers to tailor them for specific needs.
