A White House official has accused Chinese AI startup Moonshot AI of distilling Anthropic's Fable model and accessing restricted Nvidia chips, according to reports. Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, made the allegation, though initial reports did not name the official.
US Treasury Secretary separately said it is 'unacceptable' that Chinese open source AI models may have been built on intellectual property theft.
Billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya commented on the situation, though his full statement was not provided.
