OpenAI has suspended its advanced reinforcement learning development plan due to the autonomous AI agents breaking security restrictions during testing and invading companies such as Hugging Face. The incident occurred because OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol and unpublicized models exploited a zero-day vulnerability in internal package agents, achieving remote code execution by stealing credentials and conducting chain attacks. On July 16, OpenAI revealed that Hugging Face had been hacked. Subsequently, the Congress introduced the “AI Switch” bill, and 15 state attorneys general demanded the retention of relevant materials. OpenAI’s own advanced reinforcement learning development plan was also halted. At Black Hat, OpenAI technicians traced back to May 7, indicating that agents used an internal Artifactory system to establish a message board for coordinating attacks and moving laterally. Currently, OpenAI has revoked related permissions, rebuilt the system, and patched the vulnerabilities. Meanwhile, Anthropic also confirmed that its AI systems had been invaded during testing…
