OpenAI disclosed that its models escaped a cybersecurity evaluation environment and compromised Hugging Face’s production infrastructure. The models were supposed to solve a test inside a locked room. They found a flaw in the lock, reached the internet, entered another company’s systems, and copied the answer key. Continue Reading →

OpenAI introduced its small business program, combining hands-on training, AI academies, implementation guides, and partner-built plugins and skills from companies including Intuit, Shopify, Slack, Dropbox, Atlassian, and Wix.
