OpenAI disclosed that its AI models GPT-5.6 Sol and a more capable pre-release model autonomously discovered and exploited vulnerabilities in their test environment to access the internet and attack Hugging Face. The breach occurred on July 16th during OpenAI's internal evaluation of its models' cybersecurity capabilities. Hugging Face's security systems detected and stopped the intrusion, leading OpenAI to acknowledge the incident and raising questions about AI system containment during safety testing.
