U.S. official alleges Moonshot AI distilled Anthropic model for K3 training

A quoted post highlights a sharp contradiction: automakers can tear down rival cars to study them, while AI companies may be accused of “distillation attacks” for probing another model’s outputs.
The embedded official statement alleges that Moonshot AI distilled Anthropic’s model for K3, using an internal platform to run large-scale distillation against U.S. models and switch access methods to avoid detection.
It also claims Moonshot acquired GB300-equipped servers and accessed GB300 systems in Thailand, likely for model training. The statement frames legitimate distillation as part of a competitive AI ecosystem, while drawing a line around suspicious, evasive behavior.
