Days after Sam Altman revealed that OpenAI’s ‘runaway’ model hacked Hugging Face, the CEO of the world’s largest AI model repository, Clem Delangue, has met with the maker of ChatGPT, and demanded two things in the “spirit of transparency”. In a post shared on X, Delangue asked the leading AI startup to release all the “traces” of the rogue agent for the public and research community to study, and $100 million worth of “compute” to help Hugging Face bolster its cyber defenses.

The safety guardrails on America's best models blocked the forensics. An open-weight model from Beijing ran them instead.

The origin of the model Hugging Face used to combat the rogue AI is turning heads.
