BlockBeats report, on July 23, Michael Kratsios, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, posted that Moonshot AI (Kimi) referenced Anthropic’s Fable during the development of the K3 model and built an internal platform capable of large-scale distillation targeting U.S. models.
In response, Moonshot AI team member Randy Xia directly forwarded and replied: "Fable was released on July 1, and K3 launched on July 15—according to this timeline, Moonshot completed model research, distillation, training, and release within just 15 days." He joked, "We trained an entirely new state-of-the-art model in only 15 days—this must be a Guinness World Record."
