On Wednesday, July 22nd, 2026, a senior White House official accused the Chinese startup Moonshot AI of improperly using Anthropic’s latest AI model and accessing restricted Nvidia chips to develop its new AI model named Kimi. Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, stated that the administration has information indicating Moonshot AI distilled Anthropic’s Fable model to produce its own technology.
The allegations highlight concerns over intellectual property and export control violations involving advanced AI technology and hardware. The White House’s claims focus on Moonshot AI’s unauthorized use of Anthropic’s proprietary model and the use of Nvidia chips that are subject to U.S. restrictions.
No further details or responses from Moonshot AI or Anthropic were provided in the report.
