## Source excerpt

Anthropic's Mythos and Fable models are back after the U.S. government lifted restrictions, a reminder that even the largest AI companies operate within regulatory boundaries. Building a product is one challenge; selling it globally is another, which is why Merchant of Record models matter for startups. Plus, we shipped Dodo Payments v1.105.0 with Bring Your Own Processor (BYOP) and decimal-aware currency handling.
