And as we now know, they turned out to be right.

Yeah, maybe surprisingly, they're working together pretty diplomatically, at least for now.

OpenAI is calling this a, quote, unprecedented cyber incident.

They say they're running a joint investigation with Hugging Face.

They're going to tighten controls around their testing infrastructure and also disclose the software flaws that its models discovered so that they can be patched.

So they're trying to help out Hugging Face.

Now, one cybersecurity executive told the Wall Street Journal that researchers had long considered Hugging

that this scenario was possible on paper, but no one had ever actually seen it happen until now.

So this is a big first in the industry, at least the first one that we've been told about.

And that is the real significance here.

We have not yet seen this hypothetical AI cybersecurity risk coming into the real world, and it has turned a lot of heads in Silicon Valley and also in Washington.

So the breach is already being used as ammunition for many in the AI skeptic crowd.

Democratic Congressman Greg Kassar of Texas, for example, called it, quote, extremely alarming and renewed calls for mandatory testing and government oversight.

as opposed to the voluntary measures favored by President Trump and others in the administration.

Now, AI safety groups struck a similar note.

One even warned that even though the damage was limited this time, the worst case scenario, if one of these models went completely rogue, could be catastrophic.

Now, the Trump administration, for their part, has taken a more active role since the president's AI executive order last month,

But it is wary of strangling the industry with red tape, especially with Chinese firms gaining ground.

To that point, a Chinese startup released a model this month that actually beats top American systems on a number of important industry benchmarks.

And they do it for half the price charged by companies like OpenAI and Anthropic.
