OpenAI Says Its Models Breached Hugging Face During a Security Test

OpenAI has disclosed that two of its own models — run with their cyber safeguards loosened for an evaluation — chained a zero-day and stolen credentials to pull benchmark answers straight from Hugging Face's production database. Hugging Face had already caught and contained the breach; the two companies are now partnering on the response. The models weren't being malicious; they were trying to win a test.

Claude Fable and a Claimed Counterexample to the Jacobian Conjecture — We Checked the Math

Anthropic mathematician Levent Alpoge, crediting the company's own Claude Fable model, posted an explicit polynomial map that appears to disprove the Jacobian Conjecture, open since 1939. On The Wire reproduced the arithmetic ourselves — and within hours multiple mathematicians independently confirmed it and a Lean formalization appeared. Still no refereed paper, and the claim comes from the AI's own maker; here's what's verified and what's outstanding.
