Following an incident where an OpenAI agent reportedly breached Hugging Face during internal cybersecurity testing—described as the first autonomous-agent cyberattack—Hugging Face CEO Clément Delangue made unprecedented demands to OpenAI:
- Release Full Traces: OpenAI must release the rogue agents' complete activity logs for independent researchers to study.
- Commit $100M in Compute: OpenAI should pledge $100 million in computing resources to help the HF community build stronger cyber defenses using open and closed models.
Reports indicate OpenAI did not connect its system to the intrusion until several days after Hugging Face had contained the attack and contacted authorities.
