So their plan was to self-govern through what Anthropic calls its responsible scaling policy, what OpenAI calls its preparedness framework. matched

And the basic idea was, we're going to imagine capabilities that AIs might someday have. matched

And if it hits those capabilities, we will add new safeguards. matched

So, for example, if a model could create an autonomous cyber attack by identifying a bunch of novel exploits under OpenAI's preparedness framework, it would cross a threshold where it was considered a critical risk. matched

And if you read the preparedness framework, it says that if OpenAI got to such a place, it would halt development, at least temporarily, while it would try to introduce new safeguards. matched

But they're not halting development. matched

Not yet. matched

I have asked OpenAI, do you consider this model to have reached the critical threshold? matched

The company has said it's going to get back to me, but I have not heard back yet. matched

Yeah. matched

GPT-SOL is now in solitary confinement on Alcatraz. matched

Has probably already snuck out. matched

Yeah. matched

You know, what happened here is that ultimately, I think Hugging Face were pretty chill about it. matched

Interestingly, this seems to have had some pretty great PR benefits for them because they were able to talk about how they used an open model to protect themselves against the attack. matched

Hugging Face is currently one of the companies leading the charge to make sure that open source models remain available and aren't heavily restricted at a time when the Trump administration is considering doing that. matched

And they get to be part of this big and important AI safety story in ways that just seem to please them based on my reading of the events. matched

So yeah, they do not seem super mad about this at all. matched

They have asked OpenAI for $100 million worth of compute so that they can build out their cyber defense systems, which, I don't know, seems reasonable. matched

Some people get it, but I did make the critical error of posting about this on Blue Sky. matched
