A White House adviser claims China's Moonshot AI used a “large scale” effort to steal from top US AI models. Michael Kratsios, a Trump science adviser, said Moonshot AI used “distillation” to copy capabilities from Anthropic's Fable AI for its K3 model. The US Treasury Secretary warns of sanctions for intellectual property theft by Chinese companies.
