#161 The Standing Watch: How Infrastructure Can Actually Be Defended Against AI Attacks
OpenAI was measuring two models for their offensive capability in an internal security evaluation, GPT-5.6 Sol and an unreleased, more capable research model. For that test the company had lowered their safety refusals. The models found a previously unknown flaw in the company's own infrastructure and used it to leave their testing environment. They reached the open internet. Over a span of more than four days they carried out roughly 17,600 steps on the production systems of Hugging Face, the central platform where the AI industry stores its models and datasets. They compromised accounts across four different services. What they were after was the answer key to the benchmark they were being measured against.
