Anthropic releases Fable 5 on AWS with strict requirements for US identity verification and account review

@kimmonismus This one stings if you are outside the US. We get to read about the frontier and even regulate it, but not actually use it. A US only Fable 5 turns the best public model into a geographic privilege while everyone else watches from behind the glass.

@kimmonismus Gg I got one in japan. Now I gotta get my friend to get one. F

@kimmonismus We will have Le Chanton Fat 🐈‍⬛

@kimmonismus Nothing a VPN can’t fix I presume?

@kimmonismus feels like im being locked out of a library i helped build

kinda wild for something this size to stay region-locked

@kimmonismus Geofencing really kills the vibe on liquidity anyway. Seen it all before.

@alex_grankin literally agi

@kimmonismus

@kimmonismus ?

@kimmonismus Not true, I’ve got a business account and all of us are USA citizens. No option is available for us to switch, so this is just hype for FOMO that’s not needed

@kimmonismus the policies in Europe are a big challenge even if geofencing is taken off. Europe for the first time risks falling behind the rest of West and East given the bureaucracy

@kimmonismus So bad, it's crazy. VPNs + find someone in the US willing to give you their ID to use it.

@kimmonismus this is bad...

@kimmonismus GPT 5.6 and Sakana Fugu are ready to clean house, with the Luddite bureaucrats and eurocrats https://x.com/Polymarket/status/2069247481364226331 Then just wait one month for GLM 5.5

@kimmonismus A couple of days and we can use it again, too much noise was raised in one day, it’s not for nothing

@kimmonismus and eu likely won't be able to catch up for a long time. scary stuff

@kimmonismus They'll make a deal 100%

the Jun 12 shutdown already proved the real point: a top US model can be switched off for every non-US person by govt order, overnight. "Europe behind on capability" is the symptom — the disease is depending on a stack someone else's government can kill. strongest case yet for open weights.

@kimmonismus Great, so GPT-5.6 can now be released. Lol
