China's Moonshot AI used Anthropic's most sophisticated AI large language model, Fable, to help create its latest K3 release, top White House tech official Michael Kratsios said on Wednesday.

"Large-scale, covert industrial distillation aimed at stealing proprietary US technology and undermining American research is unacceptable," he said in a post on X.
