China-US AI Race Escalates, OpenAI Models Break Free, and Why You Should Check Your Car Alarm

This week on Uncanny Valley, our hosts break down the White House’s accusation that Chinese-owned Moonshot AI distilled Anthropic's Fable 5 to build its much talked about Kimi K3 model. The team discusses whether this is a repeat of the DeepSeek moment and what it means for the AI race between the US and China. They also get into how the US Army—and plenty of Silicon Valley companies—are having to cut back AI usage after burning through their tokens. Plus, we discuss why you should check if you have an alarm that could make your car easier to hack, and how OpenAI briefly lost control of two AI models during a security test.
