Anthropic’s AI tools Zoho Founder Sridhar Vembu has given a sharp reaction on the stopping of ‘Mythos 5’ and ‘Fable 5’. He has said that the people in India who are living under the illusion of globalization should wake up from their sleep. He has told what the Indian government can do immediately.
Sridhar Vembu wrote that in today’s era, national sovereignty and national security have become completely dependent on technology. Vembu said that globalization has now died down and India has to find its own way to move forward.
‘What can our government do immediately?’
Sridhar Vembu said- The government should ensure that all the organizations in India adopt small AI models instead of big models. Whether those models are from India or China. By doing a little hard work we can make them capable of doing our work.
Why pay money to people who don’t want to sell you their technology? – Sridhar Vembu
‘Research will have to be done in more depth’
Sridhar Vembu wrote that we will have to do more in-depth research. He gave the example of Sarvam AI. Said that Sarvam is engaged in this work. He told that Zoho is also working on this. It has to be remembered that creating the most advanced models not only requires huge GPU budgets, but there are also restrictions on the availability of those GPUs. We cannot afford such a huge amount of money to get into this game.
Even if we somehow manage to find the money, we may not be able to get all the GPUs we need. – Sridhar Vembu
‘I will not ask the government to invest billions of dollars’
Vembu said that he would not ask the Indian government to spend billions of dollars on this. Because there are better uses for that money. He told that Zoho is working on such methods of research and development which are less expensive. But research and development takes time. He said that we are confident, we will definitely reach there. At the end of his post, Sridhar Vembu wrote, those people in India who are still living under the illusion of globalization should wake up from their sleep.
what is the whole matter
- The US government has asked the country’s leading AI company Anthropic not to give Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models to foreign citizens. These models were launched on June 9.

- Even foreign employees working at Anthropic could not work on it. After this the company banned both the models.
