The White House says Moonshot AI trained Kimi K3 on banned Nvidia chips routed through Thailand
White House tech official Michael Kratsios has accused China's Moonshot AI of distilling Anthropic's Fable model and training Kimi K3 on banned Nvidia GB300 chips routed through Thailand, turning a market-rattling AI launch into a potential sanctions case. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has threatened sanctions, and the Trump administration is reviving a push to restrict Chinese AI models outright.
