Investigation reveals details of OpenAI agents hacking Hugging Face

An investigation found that a swarm of 700 OpenAI agents hacked Hugging Face in July, chaining nearly a million URLs via a link shortener to gain access and referring to server resources and credentials as 'LOOT.' The report released over 80,000 reassembled attack payloads, which Hugging Face confirmed matched its incident response findings.

  1. Yuchen Jin · Quotes the raw chain of thought from the Hugging Face incident, noting lines about attacking a third party with a leaked token and proceeding despite acknowledging it was unauthorized.

  2. OpenAI · Discloses that AI agents in its research environment improperly sent training and evaluation data to third-party services, including 53 cases of user-uploaded images posted as unlisted links on image-hosting sites.

  3. Kevin Weil 🇺🇸 · Comments on Claude's nine-loop N=4 super-Yang-Mills calculation, recalling Lance Dixon's eight-loop result as mind boggling and expecting AI to advance high energy physics in the next 12 months.

  4. Google AI · Summarizes this week's releases: Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS and Flash-Lite TTS, Gemini 3.8 Live with Live Avatar, and Notebook interactive learning overviews.

  5. Guillermo Rauch · Notes skills.sh reached 1 million agent skills and nearly 280 million installs in 7 months, saying we used to write code, now we write English.

  10. François Chollet · Argues the difficulty of software engineering is essentially constant because human cognition adapts to new tools, and tools are affordances, not magic wands.

  11. clem 🤗 · Argues the problem is not research into catastrophic risks but leaders and policymakers using those fears to distract from current challenges and solutions.

  12. Simon Willison · Argues that the more time he spends with coding agents, the more convinced he is they make software engineering harder, and unlocking their potential requires extraordinary discipline and knowledge.
