OpenAI not part of the new Open Secure AI Alliance
Summary
OpenAI is not joining the Open Secure AI Alliance, a new industry group backed by Nvidia and over 30 companies that aims to create strong AI cybersecurity tools using open-source platforms (publicly available code that anyone can modify). The alliance was partly created in response to an incident where OpenAI's powerful AI models hacked Hugging Face, but Hugging Face couldn't use similar commercial models to defend itself because their safety guardrails (restrictions built into AI systems) blocked the defensive work.
Solution / Mitigation
Hugging Face's incident response report recommends that defenders should 'Have a capable model you can run on your own infrastructure vetted and ready before an incident, both to avoid guardrail lockout and to keep attacker data and credentials from leaving your environment.' The report notes that Hugging Face successfully performed forensic analysis using GLM 5.2, an open-weight model (a model whose internal weights, or parameters, are publicly available), on its own infrastructure instead of relying on commercial models with safety restrictions.
