Introduction

The US State Department sent a message to its offices around the world. The message says that Chinese AI companies are taking US technology without permission. The US wants other countries to know about this problem.

Main Body

Distillation is a way to make a smaller AI model. It uses information from a bigger, more expensive model. This saves money. But the US says Chinese companies do this without permission. They also remove safety rules from the models. The US message names three Chinese companies: DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax. DeepSeek made a new model for Huawei chips. China wants to make its own AI technology. The Chinese government says the US claims are not true. The US tells its workers in other countries to talk about this problem. They also sent a special message to China. This happens before a meeting between President Trump and President Xi. The US message comes a few weeks before President Trump visits China. The two countries are competing in technology. They had a short time of peace before, but now tensions are high again.

Conclusion

The US is working hard to protect its AI technology. China says it does not steal technology. The two countries have different ideas about this problem.
