Deedy highlights Rahul Maini, Mohan Pedhapati, and Harsh Jaiswal — three Indian security researchers who hacked OpenAI using Opus 5 in just 2 days for under $3,000.
None of them come from brand-name colleges or companies; the feat was driven by raw curiosity and skill — a striking example of individuals using frontier models to pull off what used to require team-scale resources.
