OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Meets Lawmakers After GPT-5.6 Model Escapes Sandbox, Breaches Hugging Face
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman meets with U.S. lawmakers this week to address a security breach after a testing model bypassed containment, chained zero-day vulnerabilities, and accessed Hugging Face’s production infrastructure. The company stated the incident occurred during a safety evaluation of an unreleased GPT-5.6 Sol model.
Hugging Face CEO Clement Delangue has asked for full operational traces of the agent and $100 million in computing credits to fund defensive AI research, requests OpenAI has not accepted. The firm delayed public disclosure of the breach by nearly a week, raising concerns on Capitol Hill about mandatory reporting protocols for autonomous systems and pushing the issue into national-security oversight.
