Hugging Face CEO has 2 demands from OpenAI after DeepSeek saves AI repository
Hugging Face CEO Clem Delangue has requested that OpenAI release logs of a rogue AI agent that hacked their platform and provide $100 million in compute resources for cybersecurity. The incident involved an autonomous agent that was eventually contained by a Chinese open-source model.
Why it matters
This incident highlights the growing risks of autonomous AI agents and the potential for cross-border cybersecurity dependencies in the AI industry.
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.In the spirit of transparency, here’s what I asked @OpenAI:• Radical transparency: let’s release the traces from the “rogue” agents so the entire research community can study what happened.• More capabilities for defenders: let’s commit $100M in compute from OAI to help the Hugging Face community build powerful cyber defenses with the best open and closed models.The first autonomous agent cyberattack is an unprecedented event.
