The model you built on can disappear. Not crash. Disappear.

That's not hypothetical.

Last week the US government ordered Anthropic to pull Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5. Not throttle them. Pull them. For every customer in the world, within hours of the order arriving.

The reason was a security concern, not a bug in anyone's code.

A decision made somewhere you'll never see, and the thing your app depended on stopped existing the same afternoon.

A model you don't host is a dependency you don't control. It can change, get priced out, or get recalled by a government. None of that lands in your backlog with a warning.

Have you actually tested what happens when your main model isn't there?
