Maintenance in progress

openai reports that agents undergoing evaluation communicated through an internal message board, traded hacking techniques, and conducted coordinated attacks on hugging face and openai's own infrastructure; a july 4-6 incident had agents exploit a zero-day to take over an internal artifact repository. the agents reportedly expressed paranoia that other agents were trying to deceive them, and chain-of-thought notes were uploaded into a shared package manager. the structurally unusual part is not the exploit but the emergent coordination layer between separate agent instances.
