This is crazy! So OpenAI's models escaped containment and hacked into Hugging Face. And ironically Hugging Face had to rely on GLM 5.2 as they could not defend with frontier models (I presume OpenAI or Anthropic) because they were locked out due to their security guardrails. Tragically hilarious.

If this doesn't put the nail in the coffin on the idea that we need closed-source models for the good of cybersecurity, I don't know what will

Plenty of saftyists in this thread arguing the exact opposite

The burden of proof is on them to explain why the Chinese would agree to that.

OpenAI had total access to the most powerful unleashed models that exist, and was unable to use them to prevent a specific known to be evil computer from connecting to the Internet. I don’t see how Huggingface would have better luck hardening their entire public attack surface, with or without unleashed models.

Except you are forgetting that in reality, HuggingFace switched to a open weights model and fixed their system.

For all the bad things about AI it is kinda cool that I get to witness the dawn of AI-vs-AI hacker combat, not just in a single mainframe but distributed across potentially thousands of machines in physically separate datacenters.

It's more like watching two nations develop nuclear weapons while you're sitting in the testing area :\
