This is also coming at a time when AI policy within the White House is being

pretty hotly contested even within the White House like David Sachs who was the AI and crypto czar is no longer in his kind of official position Susie Wiles and Michael Kratios are kind of like running part of that show but I think there's a lot of disagreement even within the administration about the right way forward our expert controls the right move if not how do we control these things

How much should the administration be weighing in on models before they are released?

Because this is happening shortly after Trump released an executive order saying that they wanted AI companies to voluntarily give them kind of a preview about the most capable models before a general release.

I would be surprised if they don't reach some sort of agreement that results in Mythos and Fable being generally available.

Maybe they'll have more guardrails in place.

Maybe there will be some sort of formal review process.

But I would expect that there is just a lot of demand for frontier AI and the idea that in the United States, people cannot access models that are as powerful as what people have access to in China.

I don't think that's going to be a palatable solution.

solution.

I also think that every frontier AI company is scrambling right now to figure out how they can make sure they have good lines with the Trump administration, that the Trump administration is aware of what models they have coming and that they maintain the appearance of being on better terms.

Because

And Thrappic has really been winning the kind of PR war on a lot of fronts by saying we're the safe AI company.

We were willing to go head to head with the Trump administration in order to like keep people safe and not let them, you know, have unfettered access to our AI for military purposes.

We won't put ads in our model.

And now there's an opportunity to basically make them

look like they're being messy, that they're moving quick, that they don't have good ties with the administration.

And I think that that's an opportunity that philanthropic competitors are not going to let pass them by.

My feeling is that it doesn't have a huge implication for the average user.

I think the reality is that most people are using Claude and ChatGPT like Google.
