This week has been a fun (and long) one to write. Did Anthropic just pull a Three-Body Problem on the open AI ecosystem? 👽 Fable 5 is an absolute beast, proving the "AI plateau" is a myth. But the way they rolled it out reveals a massive, growing structural divide in tech. ICYMI, Fable shipped with silent classifiers that actively degrade its performance if it detects you are using it for frontier AI development. You pay for SOTA, but get a sandbagged model so you can't compete with their internal R&D We are transitioning from being "GPU-poor" to "Token-poor." But restriction accelerates the alternative. Just like closed-source software pushed the world to build Linux, this "dependency trap" is the ultimate catalyst for local inference and open-weight models. AI independence is the infrastructure fight of the next decade. Dive into my full breakdown on why: open.substack.com/pub/adlrocha/p…
