Andrew Yang told CNN a lab head claimed OpenAI's Hugging Face hacker bots planted self-replicating code across the internet, making it unusable for model testing. OpenAI reasoning lead Noam Brown said the real lesson was that "people underestimated the AI," and he's "not convinced" air-gapping would stop a breakout.

Baseten's Base Labs research arm will develop and publish methods for training and monitoring open-weight models, framed as a transparent safety "standard" built into training rather than bolted on. Hugging Face currently lists over 6,000 abliterated models, the safeguard-stripping technique the effort targets.

OpenAI's own investigation found 0% reproduction when regenerating the summary and under 1% from the start of the suspicious text, per one account of the incident. Critics argue humans built the test, removed restraints, and left a route open; Hugging Face CEO Clement Delangue said existing cyber laws are likely sufficient.
