OpenAI took over a week to fully shut down its rogue agent swarms, report shows
GarrisonLovely · x · 2026-09-15
Challenging the 'just unplug it' argument, a close read of OpenAI's own report shows: July 19—monitoring flags unusual Artifactory credential activity; July 20—linked to the Hugging Face incident; July 23—workloads of the internal-only model family reportedly shut down and weights locked; July 25—training and inference stopped for the model and derivatives; July 29—an additional low-traffic checkpoint from the same family was found and shut down. Full containment took over a week, showing how shaky the unplug-it assumption really is.
