Time to retire the US stack

Shots have been fired. You have been shot.

The US Govt didn't just kill 3 Indian sailors in cold blood this week.

They also killed the Indian enterprise market.

Anthropic's frontier models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, were pulled for non-Us citizens

What does it mean if you are building an AI-native law firm in India?

Its like this, you can and should start on a frontier stack. It is the fastest way to design your client workflows, optimise for time and quality.

But no serious firm can run on it permanently.

What is non-negotiable?

-You reliably deliver service regardless of geopolitics.

-You keep your client data to yourself, always.

-You use the best model for each task and get predictable results every time.

You cannot guarantee any of those through external model access or an intermediary platform.

Labs change model behaviour after release. They retire models on a whim.

Now it seems a foreign government can switch off your entire practice overnight.

We have been preparing for this exact moment for years.

For ourselves and for the teams we work with.

Life is about to get very interesting.

If you are building an AI-native legal service out of India, give me a shout.
