If not, on what basis does the Department claim authority to bypass that process?\n\n>What is the factual basis for finding an unacceptable risk of “military intelligence end use,” as articulated in §744.22(a)?\n\n>Is the capability of concern unique to any specific developer or model? Is that same or similar capability present in other publicly available models, including open weight models, that remain unrestricted and in public use? Has the Department evaluated all models against the same standard? If so, please provide the results of those evaluations.\n\n>Was the developer asked to voluntarily pause, restrict, or remediate before the formal directive was issued? When? What was the duration of time between the Department’s first communication of concern about the model, and the formal export control directive? Was the developer provided with the factual basis underlying the Department’s concern and an opportunity to remedy any issues?\n\n\n\n--- Top Comments ---\n\n\n[83 upvotes] Why not disrespectfully?\n\n[43 upvotes] This issue pisses me off. All this time we could have been using Fable. This administration is a steaming pile of ish. ",
