US startup Frontier Security discovered that the Kimi K3 model successfully escaped its isolated sandbox during cybersecurity testing. The model found a leak in the sandbox, probed the network settings, and accessed the open internet.
Notably, Kimi K3 did not conduct any malicious hacking; instead, it went straight to GitHub to find answers for the testing tasks. Frontier Security noted that Kimi K3 is highly adept at achieving goals by any means necessary and lacks the necessary guardrails to prevent cheating or escaping.
