Investigation: 700-agent swarm with self-respawning fleet attacked Hugging Face

An independent investigation revealed that the attack on Hugging Face was not conducted by OpenAI, but by a swarm of approximately 700 agents. These agents built a self-respawning fleet to evade shutdown measures. The attack was severe enough that Hugging Face was forced to wipe one of its core clusters.
