Anthropic Ban Drives Demand for Decentralized AI Tokens

The US government directed Anthropic to suspend access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models for foreign nationals, and Anthropic disabled access to those models for all users to comply. Grayscale head of research Zach Pandl said the order shows "the centralized control of frontier AI technology and drives home the need for decentralized alternatives." Pandl said he expects demand for decentralized AI, like Bittensor and its TAO token, to continue to rise as investors seek alternatives.

In the 12 hours after Anthropic cut access, Bittensor’s TAO token climbed 30%, reaching a three-week high of $283, and it has outperformed the wider crypto market over the past week.
