Kimi K3 panic: Is Washington protecting America or OpenAI?

What this story is about

Moonshot AI’s Kimi K3 just jolted the AI race. It’s a huge Chinese open-weight model that looks strong enough to threaten the pricing power of OpenAI and Anthropic, and now Washington is reportedly weighing restrictions. The fight is whether this is real national security or a government-assisted moat for a few U.S.

Banning K3 would be industrial policy in a security costume

Evan Hart’s case is blunt: if the U.S. bans or blocks Chinese open-weight models like Kimi K3, the clearest immediate winner is not national security. It is the margin structure of OpenAI, Anthropic, and other closed-model incumbents. His argument is not that China risk is fake.
