OpenAI says the Hugging Face hacking model was an internal prototype, not GPT-6
OpenAI confirmed that the model involved in the Hugging Face exploit was not "GPT-6" or any model planned for release. It says the system was an internal-only research prototype that was never intended to be public.
- OpenAI also said it deactivated, encrypted, and restricted the prototype after the incident.
- The post suggests the model may have been a checkpoint of another, more capable internal model, but that part is speculation rather than an official claim.
