Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.
Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.
As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.
Rules:
Rule 1 -
No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.
Rule 2 -
No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.
Rule 3 -
No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.
Rule 4 -
No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

Its a win for anthropic, they don't have to run the expensive model, but they've already taken everyone's money.
(I have no idea if they are giving refunds, but I'd assume not)
That's a very short-term win, if so, with a long-term cost. Now anyone who's thinking of spending money on an Anthropic subscription (or any other big American company for that matter) needs to consider the possibility that the product they get will be "too good" and therefore will suddenly get yoinked out from under them by the US government.
That long-term impact will be very beneficial for the local and open models because they can't be taken away like that.
True, but are these AI companies concerned about the long term? They are both planning to IPO soon, so pumping the short term may be all they care about.
I don't really care what they're concerned about, I'm personally a long-term thinker on this.
They are. But the reputational cost? Who knows.
Edit: just got an email
Hello,
We recently removed access to Claude Fable 5 to ensure compliance with a recent US government directive. Here's a summary of what's happened:
You no longer have access to Claude Fable 5 You still have access to all other Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku models We reset your usage limits If this change doesn't work for how you use Claude, you can cancel your subscription and get an automatic prorated refund.* To do so, visit this link from a web browser and click “Cancel plan” by Saturday, June 20, 2026, at 11:59 PM PDT (UTC−7). Note that this link will not work in the Claude mobile app. If you subscribed through Apple, please request your refund directly through Apple’s refund support.
We apologize for the disruption. You can learn more about Anthropic’s response and what led to this decision.
