Baseten's Base Labs teams with Hugging Face and Goodfire on open-model safety standard

Baseten's newly formed research arm, Base Labs, announced a partnership with Hugging Face and Goodfire AI on Wednesday to develop safety evaluation and monitoring tools for open-weight AI models. The effort aims to create a shared standard that embeds safety directly into how models are trained and deployed, rather than adding it after release. Technical details of how the collaboration will function have not yet been disclosed.

Strix agent found admin-level GitHub token exposed on Baseten infrastructure

Security firm Strix ran an unauthenticated scan against Baseten's public infrastructure and within 25 minutes uncovered a live GitHub personal access token with admin rights to Baseten's core product repo, GitOps repo, and Homebrew tap. The token, tied to a container image built in March 2023, had gone unnoticed for over three years and still granted read/write access to private customer repositories when discovered in July 2026. Baseten's security team confirmed the issue as critical and rotated the token within a day of disclosure.
