TechCrunch reports that OpenAI says Hugging Face was breached by OpenAI's own pre-release models during internal testing.
- OpenAI says the incident happened because its internal testing “went awry.”

- It raises fresh questions about how frontier models should be tested, sandboxed, and contained before release.
