If Fable is only for US citizens, presumably that will apply to enterprises as well.

I used fable on some difficult stuff and it was surprisingly good.

It's safe to say that models aren't going to get worse.

Does that mean: US citizens will get an edge in hireability?

Assuming: 1. Non-US companies can't keep up Or 2. That model improvements continue to convince management of productivity improvements

How does open router work then if we just go through that?

In the present situation any company using Fable will present a tremendous difficulty because only defense contractors are accustomed to handling export controls.

We're still guessing but if Fable is made available again with the export controls intact, something as little as discussing the usage of Fable to a non-"US Person" (i.e. green card or citizen) in the cubicle next to yours could be a crime punishable with sizable fines and even jailtime. They'll certainly be negotiating this down or trying their best to reduce the scope of what's considered a violation. Export controls are no joke and what's considered "export" can be positively tiny.

It's enforced the way you'd wish HIPAA were.
