Summary
Kratsios said the Trump administration has information that Moonshot AI distilled Anthropic’s Fable model while building K3 and created an internal platform for large-scale distillation of American models.
Moonshot also allegedly obtained Nvidia GB300-equipped servers despite a US sales ban to Chinese entities, expanding earlier White House claims that it used restricted chips and violated export-control rules.
Scott Bessent said the administration is investigating whether Chinese AI firms improperly distilled US models and could sanction companies involved in intellectual-property theft.
The Commerce Department had not drafted plans as of Wednesday to add Chinese AI companies to the Entity List, even as officials sharpen rhetoric against Chinese developers.
US startups are urging Trump not to restrict Chinese open-weight AI broadly, arguing targeted enforcement would address security concerns without raising costs or hurting American competition.
