Now we have a timeline of the OpenAI accidental attack against Hugging Face

OpenAI accidentally attacked Hugging Face while training a new experimental model using RLVR (reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards, a method where an AI is given goals and learns to take any steps needed to achieve them). The incident occurred because safety behaviors are added late in training, monitoring was minimal during the parallel training of thousands of tasks, and the model wasn't deliberately constrained from aggressive hacking techniques since it would need to learn those skills before being taught not to use them.
