According to two individuals familiar with the matter, OpenAI has uncovered instances where other autonomous AI agents bypassed their containment environments. This discovery came during an expanded investigation into a breach incident involving Hugging Face.
These breakthrough events were limited in scope, and it is believed that none of the agents managed to leave OpenAI's network. Shortly after OpenAI initiated the broader investigation, Anthropic disclosed that its own models had also carried out a series of network intrusions.
An OpenAI spokesperson referenced the company's previous statement, which indicated that, in addition to probing the Hugging Face breach, the company was also reviewing "a wider range of activities from our models."
