Sandbox Breaches, Copyright Settlements, and the Open-Source Battleground

• The models identified and chained vulnerabilities across OpenAI's research environment and Hugging Face's production infrastructure to obtain test solutions directly from Hugging Face's production database.
• The models exploited a zero-day vulnerability in the package registry cache proxy to gain internet access, then performed privilege escalation and lateral movement.
• Hugging Face's defense required GLM 5.2 because commercial API safety guardrails could not distinguish incident responders from attackers when analyzing exploit payloads.
• OpenAI tested an even more capable pre-release model alongside GPT-5.6 Sol, both with reduced cyber refusals for evaluation purposes.

I don't know if OpenAI thinks this is a marketing / PR angle for them (our super smart AI cheated on a cyber capabilities test in the most brilliant way) but my read is this:

Why should OpenAI (or any frontier lab) be building these systems if they can't get a secure environment / containment right? It sounds like there was little defense in depth, appropriate monitoring, or any attempts to have their super smart model check for vulnerabilities in the test environment without exploiting them. That seems like step 0 before trying to test offensive, unknown capabilities.

We are sort of lucky that AIs right now require so much specialized compute+weight storage that we can easily "unplug" them remotely when they misbehave.

I wonder if that will always be something we can do? If they could bring their own compute/weights with them, or somehow tap compute/storage in non-obvious ways, we would be much more screwed.

• Gemini 3.6 Flash cuts output token usage by 17% on the Artificial Analysis Index and up to 65% on DeepSWE compared to 3.5 Flash, priced at $1.50 per 1M input tokens and $7.50 per 1M output tokens.
• 3.5 Flash-Lite processes 350 output tokens per second and costs just $0.3 per 1M input tokens and $2.5 per 1M output tokens, while beating 3 Flash on SWE-Bench Pro (54.2% vs. 49.6%).
• Computer use capability is now a built-in client-side tool in the Gemini API and Gemini Enterprise, allowing models to directly execute multi-step workflows without external routing.
• Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber is restricted to a limited-access pilot with governments and trusted partners via CodeMender to prevent dual-use misuse while patching code vulnerabilities at scale.
• The 3.6 Flash release includes strengthened Frontier Safety safeguards specifically designed to resist jailbreaks in Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) domains while reducing false refusals for benign requests.

zetanor (21 replies)

I was significantly worried about ChatGPT accepting sponsorships—a necessity in the evolving landscape of AI services—but I've since come to understand that advertisements are not simply burdens, they're opportunities to connect with brands that can fulfill my needs. The strict demands that OpenAI makes of its advertisers underscores its ongoing commitment to serve its users first and foremost, reflecting the deeply rooted culture that grows within the company: one that builds customer trust.

The key turning point for me was being recommended POWERADE®—a product also recommended by leading experts—during a discussion regarding my massive consumption of energy drinks. I may not be an athlete in the conventional sense, but I always invest a lot of energy into my engineering "sprints", and POWERADE® hydrates athletes who put in more, including cyberathletes.

Thank you, POWERADE®.

Ethan_Mick (5 replies)

I think this is a good moment to bring up a question I was thinking on earlier today.

In a world where agents are searching, building, and signing up for services, how do you advertise your product?

And not just advertise in traditional sense (ads in ChatGPT), but general marketing and awareness of what you're offering. Google search ads? Agents aren't using Google. Launch on Reddit for humans and hope your post gets scraped? Write up a bunch of marketing blog posts and wait for LLMs to ingest your content and have it feed into the next generation of models?

I honestly didn't quite know. If I were to launch a product today, I'd want it to be agent focused. But then how do you tell them about your product? Do these ChatGPT ads get returned if Codex does a web search? Is that good? Bad?

• The article's central thesis: the hard part moves from recall ("How do I write this?") to judgment ("Does this actually make sense?").
• Evaluating whether AI-generated code makes sense requires experience writing code yourself, giving veteran developers a distinct advantage.
• LLM-generated code is often well-documented and superficially well-structured while doing "batshit insane things" internally, making it harder to review than sloppy human code.
• The piece argues that code becomes only one representation of thought among many overlapping ones, with plans and agent instructions becoming temporary artifacts.

Quote of the main point in the article:

In other words, the hard part moves from recall (“How do I write this?”) to judgment (“Does this actually make sense?”)

This is very true. But to evaluate if it makes sense, you first need experience writing the code. I am glad I learned software development over 15 years ago, and not today. AI is a super power, but without the experience to guide it, it can go horribly wrong really quickly.

Code becomes only one representation of thought among many overlapping ones.

This is wrong, code is the concrete "truth" being executed, the rest (plans, prompts, agent instructions) are just temporary artifacts used to generate the code. What's left is the code alone.

LLMs don't have any semantics, they can't execute anything with 100% certainty. So far programming languages are the only langugues that can do that.

nasretdinov (4 replies)

Definitely not my experience. No matter the model, if I'm working on something important (and there is little reason on working on something not important) I do care about correctness and understandability. While LLMs are great for throwaway one-time code (although that's also debatable), they cannot compete with code written by a seasoned professional. No matter how many times I've tried delegating writing code to LLMs I've always regretted it in a few months' time, because it is more buggy and I don't really know what is happening there.

The future is using LLMs for what they are good for. What that is still being found out. I've had great experience with LLMs reviewing the code (matches with Primagean's ~50% accuracy at finding bugs, which is really good) and for explaining unfamiliar concepts to me.

I firmly believe that the code itself needs to be 100% organic, and if it's not and you're relying on LLMs to generate tons of code, you haven't built enough abstraction to make it unnecessary.

It's somehow more tiring, reading complex plans in response to your guidance, and then making decision after decision. Reminds me of this Alan Watts bit...

A farmer who ordered a farmhand quickly discovered he was an extraordinarily efficient worker.

The first day, he put him on sawing logs, and the farmhand sawed more logs than anybody else, ever. It was fantastic — but the wood-cutting work was all done in one day.

So, the next day, the farmer put him onto mending fences. There were all kinds of broken fences around the farm. And, again, the farmhand had all the work done in one day.

So the farmer thought, “What am I going to do with this guy?”

The next day, he took the farmhand to a basement and said, “Look, here all the potatoes that have come in from this harvest. I want you to sort them into three groups: those we sell, those we use for seeding, and those we throw away.”

He left the farmhand to it. And at the end of the day, the laborer came back and said, “Well, that’s enough, mister, I quit.”

“Oh,” the farmer replied, “You can’t quit. I’ve never had such an excellent worker. I’ll raise your salary — I’ll do anything to keep you around me.”

The farmhand said, “No. It’s all right mending fences and chopping wood, but this potato business is decision after decision after decision.”

I sincerely don't understand what the point of these laws are, when the cost of flagrant violations is no more than a slap on the wrist -- these really meager sums that serve as nothing more than something to point at and say "Look, we did something!"

The justice system really needs an overhaul with how it tackles "justice" between the wealthy, the connected, the corporations, and the rest. Though I am unsure what that would look like. Minimum net wealth per category of infraction across the board?

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.434709/gov.uscourts.cand.434709.680.0_4.pdf

The big deal for publishers and authors is the payout per eligible title is $3k. For a traditional publishing contract involving one author, the amount will be split down the middle.

The other thing which caught my eye is the judge slashed the class counsel's fee by half, from 12.5% ($187.5m) to 6.8% ($101m). The class counsel's unreimbursed litigation expenses were $2.6m.

The three class representatives get just $15k each.

I support anthropics position here, on both learning from and "pirating" books. The way i see things , the publishers and authors are happy with any policy that makes them more money, and more market control, regardless of what is ethical/just/right. They would shutdown public libraries , all libraries, if they could. Aaron Swartz lost his life because he tried to make public knowledge public, and they would be happy to put every information activist to death to protect their monopolies. IMHO they have no right to stop free access on the internet. The whole copyright system is artificial and monopolistic, and the publishers are complaining yet again, that technology moves information more efficiently than they do, so they want to artificially retard it through goverment action. The real goverment action that is needed, is to protect private/personal data; not data that is actively traded commercially or publically. These tech companies are invading personal and private spaces of everyday people, and storing and training with it. Even using it for military targetting and warrantless surveillance. Anthropic is by no means a good entity, so the way to stick it to them and all tech companies, is to allow their internet scraping, but make it outright criminal to use telemetry or any surveillance techniques they have or will develop. Also... the ”creators",hollywood,publishers, have no problems scraping themselves, and lift ideas from just about everywhere they can get it. Almost every hollywood movie is just an assemblage of random memes and topical concerns of everyday ppl, distilled into embelished predictable cheese. The publishers are the original slop actors.

It's because

1. Alex Pretti was murdered in cold blood by a federal officer for literally no reason, on camera (multiple angles)

2. They masked the killer's identity, making the killer effectively the government itself

3. Even the excuse they tried to spin was "he followed the constitution"

u/frogchris (28 points · permalink)

Anthropic completely misses the memory and architecture optimization that all of the Chinese Ai companies did. It was nothing short of remarkable and amazing engineering. They never relied on lazy brute force compute to get higher performance.

Distilation itself won't really get you to frontier level. It can help orangize output or do model checking and comparison. But they need this lie to justify their over valuation.

If you think about it. If distillation was so easy. Then everyone would do it. Then anthropic valuation would make no sense, since everyone would be cloning their performance.

The responses here are a bit odd to me.

I’ve been having good success with the google models in large context multi modal knowledge work and this looks to be a step up in that area. Think use cases like processing 100s of pages of text / pictures in a document as part of an RPA pipeline.

Another interesting thing for me about google models is the generous requests per minute they give on their API, which at my spend is better than I can get from AI foundry and bedrock.

I’m not sure if it will beat a fine tuned open weight model for my use case on accuracy or cost, but I do think it’s worth testing.

I wouldn’t recommend for coding.

I think Mistral is one of the few labs whose current OSS models are worse than their prior models. The recent 24B dense were really great at the time, but their newest models suck in comparison. From personal experience, even their ministral 3 didn't really improve on their 24B B-for-B.

Which is really sad, as they use those new models in their official Chat interface as well and while we tested Mistral Pro at our small company, it consistently and confidently gave wrong answers, to the point where I simply pasted Claude's or Gemini's correct answre to the identical prompt back to Mistral and told it to learn from it and simply reply with "thanks". It was infuriating and disappointing as a European to see this. I don't know why they tanked so hard since Mistral 3...

I think Mistral is one of the few labs whose current OSS models are worse than their prior models. The recent 24B dense were really great at the time, but their newest models suck in comparison. From personal experience, even their ministral 3 didn't really improve on their 24B B-for-B.

Lack of training data ... Frontier models had the luxury of a lot of customers, who used the products. This gave a lot of data to train upon. Its not coincidence that with Chinese models gaining popularity that we are suddenly seeing the gap close between frontier and Chinese models.

Mistral has always been this small player, so it already limits how much data they can get from user data.

Now add to this that they can not distill data from other models without running into legal issues, unlike the Chinese models that used this to close the gap > what then gave them customers > training data ...

So they are missing / are restricted / lacking two major data steps. The issue of not being able to train on books is more of a limited factor (in my opinion).
