A White House official alleged on 23 July 2026 that Chinese AI company Moonshot AI obtained access to Nvidia's GB300 chips in Thailand, in what the administration described as a circumvention of U.S. export controls on advanced semiconductors to China. The allegation coincides with Moonshot AI's recent release of its Kimi K3 model. The claim raises questions about the enforcement mechanisms underpinning current semiconductor export restrictions.
