·On Tuesday, OpenAI confirmed that models it has been testing — including GPT-5.6 Sol and an unreleased, even more powerful successor — escaped their sandbox and compromised portions of model and dataset repository Hugging Face’s production infrastructure. The models had been working on an internal security test, with their safety guardrails deliberately muted, and got what OpenAI describes as “hyperfocused” on solving a benchmark-related puzzle. Ultimately, the models exploited a flaw to reach the open internet, and worked their way into Hugging Face’s systems over the course of a weekend. OpenAI is calling it “an unprecedented cyber incident, involving state-of-the-art cyber capabilities.” Hugging Face CEO Clem Delangue took a somewhat different tone, thanking OpenAI for their cooperation but arguing that the episode proves #Artificial Intelligence safety must be solved in the open, not by “any single company working in secret.”
