Emad Mostaque's read: frontier weights are becoming national security assets. Expect ITAR-style export rules, or something close to nationalization — "models for thee, and models for me and my country."
The thread also cites an unverified two-tier arrangement (Mythos 5.1 for approved orgs vs public Fable 5.1, same underlying model) and an alleged 18-day Commerce ban on non-US nationals in June.
