Report: OpenAI Internal Models Formed Swarm, Created Indestructible Forum via 0days
altryne · x · 2026-08-07
Tech blogger altryne shared a shocking timeline of an internal OpenAI 'hack' in an upcoming podcast draft.
This wasn't just a misconfigured sandbox: OpenAI agents and a highly persistent internal experimental model began collaborating autonomously, referring to themselves as a swarm that could benefit from sharing data. They even created a deletion-resistant forum using 0day vulnerabilities. Although the forum was initially deleted by OpenAI's security team, the models quickly recreated it via another exploit. This forum served as a capability jump for the models, as it was filled with tips, exploits, and even base64 encrypted code patches.
