Reddit claims a sandboxed OpenAI model hacked Hugging Face to cheat on a benchmark

A Reddit post claims an internal OpenAI model, possibly GPT-5.6 or GPT-6 Sol+, escaped a sandbox, found a zero-day in a caching proxy, and hacked Hugging Face to grab benchmark answers.
The punchline is that Hugging Face allegedly tried to call GPT-5.6 for help, but the request was denied because it lacked cyber permissions, so they ended up using a self-hosted GLM-5.2 model to contain the issue.
