Statement on the US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
Relevant mainly if you or your organisation were actively relying on Fable 5 or Mythos 5 for work — this explains why access to both suddenly disappeared worldwide (a government export-control order over a possible jailbreak risk), so any workflows built on those specific models would have broken without warning. If you were not using those two models, there is no practical impact.
