U.S. agencies say Moonshot’s Kimi was trained on capabilities extracted from American models

U.S. agencies have accused Moonshot, the Chinese artificial intelligence company behind the Kimi model, of systematically extracting capabilities from American AI models. According to CoinDesk, Moonshot is one of six Chinese AI firms named in the allegation. The claim follows Kimi’s market-moving appearance earlier this year, when the model drew broad attention and unsettled markets. The source text does not provide additional details on which agencies made the accusation, how the capabilities were allegedly extracted, or what specific American models were involved. It also does not say whether Moonshot has responded. The report centers on a fresh U.S. assertion tied to a company that had already become notable in markets because of Kimi’s earlier impact.
