White House Tech Official Accuses Moonshot AI of Distilling Claude Model and Violating Chip Rules

Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, publicly accused Chinese AI company Moonshot AI of distilling Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 model to develop its K3 model, building a sophisticated platform to evade detection, and acquiring banned Nvidia GB300 chips via Thailand. The accusations lack evidence and are criticized as slander driven by envy and fear.
