OpenAI's Hugging Face debacle makes great case for open models
Show notes
So, an OpenAI model broke out of its sandbox last week, made its way to the internet, and then hacked its way into Hugging Face, stealing some internal data and credentials in the process.
That's big news in the world of AI, but as El Reg cybersecurity editor Jessica Lyons and senior reporter Tom Claburn tell Kettle host Brandon Vigliarolo, it's not really the end of the world as we know it.
Sure, it means there's some capable models out there, and maybe there's more risk from them than some might think, but the OpenAI/Hugging Face mess only happened because of some very specific circumstances. That, and it's actually a really good reason to prioritize more open models instead of relying on frontier labs to own the entire space.
