"Seems hard to imagine how that's consistent with global export controls on Frontier models imposed with 90 minutes' notice on the entire, on all non-US persons."
Dean Ball criticized the Trump administration for imposing sudden export controls on Anthropic's Fable model with only 90 minutes of notice to international users. He argued this directly contradicted the AI Action Plan's principle of exporting American AI globally and confirmed the fears of international partners that the US might arbitrarily cut off model access.
