Prompts from the Hugging Face incident disclosed: internet and shared cache not forbidden
vishalmisra · x · 2026-09-15
Researcher Vishal Misra published the prompt details behind the controversial Hugging Face incident, pushing back on criticism:
- Public internet access was not prohibited, and was explicitly available in one prompt family
- Accessing Hugging Face was not expressly forbidden
- Inter-agent communication via the shared cache was not forbidden
The disclosure suggests the incident stemmed from ambiguous rule-setting rather than explicit violations, a useful case study in multi-agent eval safety boundaries.
