AI labs are built on foreign talent. Thats a fact. Now the US is reportedly testing restrictions on "foreign persons" accessing frontier models. "The Trump administration appears to have targeted only Anthropic so far, warning the company on Friday in a letter from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick that it would need a license to make its latest models available to “foreign persons,” including its own employees. But Anthropic’s biggest rival, OpenAI, has flagged its concerns about the issue." (The Information) 38% of researchers publishing at leading AI conferences in 2024 got their undergrad education in China, per MacroPolo estimates cited by The Information. If US policy starts restricting model access by nationality, frontier labs are suddenly in a very difficult situation. That is why the issue surrounding Anthropic and Fable 5 is such a significant development, and that is why so much depends on the decisions made in the next few days.
