In this solo episode, I walk through the implications of the ban of Claude Fable 5, the most powerful model on the planet and the one I planned to build with, after the US government sent Anthropic a letter.
I make the case for local AI by walking through the benefits: intelligence that lives on your own hardware, stays private, runs free after the hardware cost, and keeps working through bans, outages, and price hikes.
I lay out the exact order I'd learn it in, runtimes, model-to-hardware matching, quantization, and agents and I name the specific tools and models I reach for. Then I hand you five startup ideas that exist precisely because intelligence now sits on your desk. The payoff for you is a clear plan to own a resilient layer of your stack starting this week.
