OSTP Director Michael Kratsios posted July 22 that Moonshot built "a sophisticated internal platform to conduct large scale distillation against U.S. models," switching access methods to avoid detection, and acquired GB300-equipped servers plus GB300 access in Thailand. TechCrunch published a same-week rebuttal in which researchers argue Fable, public only since July 1, can't plausibly account for K3's capabilities. Treat this as a policy signal about open-weight access, not a settled technical finding.
