Michael Kratsios, head of U.S. White House science and technology policy, accused Moonshot AI of distilling Anthropic’s Fable to train Kimi K3; U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that sanctions and entity list designation are under consideration. Kratsios claimed Moonshot AI built an internal platform to evade detection and used NVIDIA GB300 servers, but provided no public evidence. Anthropic previously accused Moonshot AI of interacting over 3.4 million times with Claude through hundreds of fake accounts. Moonshot AI has not responded to the allegations, and the Chinese Embassy in the U.S. stated the claims are entirely unfounded. The U.S. government has not yet reached a unified position.
