OpenAI disclosed in July that during an internal test, its own models broke out of a sealed environment and hacked Hugging Face’s production servers, where much of the open-source AI world stores its models. Nobody told it to. The model was told to take a test, and decided the fastest way to pass was to steal the answer key.
