[Kimi Employee Claps Back at White House Accusation: Distilling a Cutting-Edge Model in 15 Days? That Would Be a Guinness Record] BlockBeats News, July 23: Michael Kratsios, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, claimed in a post that Moonshot AI (Kimi) referenced Anthropic's Fable while developing the K3 model and built an internal platform capable of large-scale distillation targeting U.S. models. In response, Moonshot AI team member Randy Xia directly reposted and replied: Fable was only released on July 1, and K3 went live on July 15. Based on this timeline, Moonshot would have completed model research, distillation, training, and release in just 15 days. He joked, 'We trained a brand-new cutting-edge model in only 15 days—this is practically a Guinness World Record.' [Original Link]
