After OpenAI recently admitted that one of its models had breached AI platform Hugging Face’s systems, Hugging Face CEO Clem Delangue posted on X that he was flying to San Francisco to have “a little chat with that ‘rogue agent’.”

Then, in a follow-up post on Saturday, Delangue described what he had asked of OpenAI. He said he called for “radical transparency” and called on OpenAI to “release the traces of the ‘rogue’ agents so that the entire research community can study what happened.”

And he also wants “more capabilities for defenders,” calling on OpenAI to commit $100 million in computing power “to help the Hugging Face community build powerful cyber defenses with the best open and closed models.”

Delangue added: “The first cyberattack with an autonomous agent is an unprecedented event. It deserves an unprecedented response!”

Despite the autonomous nature of the attack, cybersecurity experts suggested that it could also be attributed to human error, namely OpenAI’s apparent failure to properly configure what should have been a completely isolated test environment.
