Security researcher Thomas Ptacek suggests that open-weights AI models from 2025 could perform sandbox escapes and network intrusions without requiring frontier models, implying OpenAI's sandboxes may not be particularly robust. The statement was made in the context of OpenAI's accidental cyberattack against Hugging Face. The observation implies that AI security threats may not be limited to the most advanced models, affecting defensive strategies across the industry.
