Clement Delangue says a cyberattack last week looked sophisticated enough that they initially suspected a frontier lab was behind it. After working with the OpenAI team, he says they now strongly believe there was no malicious intent.
The key takeaway is that the incident appears to have been carried out autonomously, and the investigation is still ongoing. He says it may be the first incident of its kind.
