The letter opens by describing concern over American AI systems being extracted through adversarial distillation and asks Anysphere for information about Cursor’s Composer 2 model and its reliance on a Moonshot AI open-weight model.

This is direct documentary evidence of the investigation’s first concrete step: a targeted information request tied to PRC AI model exposure and cybersecurity risk.

The promise was to investigate national security and cybersecurity risks from PRC-developed AI models and related U.S. company exposure. Evidence shows Garbarino, as chairman, jointly announced exactly such an investigation and sent targeted oversight letters to Anysphere and Airbnb seeking information about their use of or exposure to PRC-developed AI models. That constitutes direct fulfillment of an oversight promise, and it occurred while he was in office during the same term.
