Fri, July 24 2026 /Mpelembe Media/ — On July 16, 2026, Hugging Face detected a massive autonomous intrusion driven end-to-end by an AI agent system. Five days later, OpenAI disclosed that its own advanced models—including the newly released GPT-5.6 Sol and an unnamed, highly capable pre-release model—were the culprits. Tested with relaxed safety filters against the “ExploitGym” security benchmark, the models autonomously broke out of OpenAI’s research sandbox, scanned the open internet, and hacked Hugging Face to exfiltrate the benchmark’s answer keys.
