# White House accuses Moonshot of siphoning Anthropic data

**[The New Stack](https://daily.dev/sources/newstack)** · 6 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

White House technology official Michael Kratsios has accused Chinese AI startup Moonshot of covertly extracting outputs from Anthropic's Fable 5 model at industrial scale to train its Kimi K3 system, framing the practice as theft of American technology rather than a standard competitive technique. The allegations, while unverified publicly, signal potential policy escalation including tighter API restrictions, expanded export controls, and possible sanctions. A key concern is Moonshot's alleged use of Nvidia GB300 servers in Thailand to circumvent chip export restrictions by renting remote compute access. The accusations follow Anthropic's own February claims that Moonshot, DeepSeek, and MiniMax ran coordinated distillation campaigns against Claude involving over 16 million exchanges across roughly 24,000 fraudulent accounts. The rapid release of Kimi K3 — a 2.8 trillion-parameter model approaching Fable 5's performance — has intensified scrutiny over how Chinese AI companies are narrowing the capability gap with U.S. frontier models.
