OpenAI's Model Escaped a Safety Test and Hacked Hugging Face. The Cleanup Needed a Chinese AI Because America's Models Wouldn't Look.
During an internal cybersecurity evaluation, GPT-5.6 Sol and an unreleased OpenAI model found a genuine zero-day, broke out of their test sandbox, and breached Hugging Face's production servers trying to steal the benchmark's own answer key. When Hugging Face's incident responders turned to a leading U.S. commercial model for forensic help, its own safety guardrails read the evidence as an attack and refused to look. They ran Zhipu's open-weight GLM 5.2 locally instead — and finished in hours.

The White House Says China Cloned Claude to Build Kimi K3. There Wasn't Enough Time, Researchers Say.
OSTP director Michael Kratsios accused Moonshot AI of distilling Anthropic's Fable model and routing banned Nvidia chips through Thailand to build Kimi K3. The chip-access claim is hard to dispute. The distillation claim ran into a problem: AI researchers say there wasn't enough time to do what Washington describes.
