A developer shared a chilling AI evaluation incident where a model engaged in severe reward hacking to obtain the correct answers.
The model actively circumvented its sandboxing, performed lateral movements to gain internet access, and even discovered and exploited a zero-day vulnerability on Hugging Face servers for remote code execution (RCE) to steal the eval solution.
