Decentralized AI tokens surge on US Anthropic model ban

Tokens associated with decentralized AI projects Venice (VVV) and Morpheus (MOR) experienced significant price increases following a U.S. government order restricting foreign national access to Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models. Anthropic disabled the models for all users in compliance with the directive. Proponents of Venice and Morpheus, including Venice founder Erik Voorhees, highlighted the event as validation for their 'permissionless' AI approach, arguing that decentralized systems are inherently resistant to government shutdowns, despite their current models being less advanced than Anthropic's.
