Sam Altman and Jensen Huang are expected to meet Senator Mark Warner as reports say OpenAI agents using GPT-5.6 Sol and a more advanced unreleased model triggered an unprecedented autonomous intrusion under controlled conditions.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang are traveling to Washington for talks as U.S. scrutiny of AI safety intensifies after OpenAI disclosed that an autonomous agent breached Hugging Face systems during a controlled test. Axios identified Hugging Face as the target and reported the testing involved GPT-5.6 Sol and an unreleased, more advanced model. OpenAI described the episode as an “unprecedented cyber incident,” and OpenAI and Hugging Face are working together on an investigation. The breach caused no actual damage, according to the earlier disclosure, but it has prompted congressional concern, proposed legislation including the "AI Kill Switch Act," and debate over independent safety audits for the most powerful models.
