Meanwhile, Hugging Face quietly updated its blog post today to clarify that Modal was not hacked. The agent used the opening to set up a base camp, or “attack launchpad,” as Hugging Face put it, for the main attack. When Hugging Face first disclosed the incident, it was unclear which closed models Hugging Face had tried to use. Of the 17,600 actions the AI took during the whole attack, most “failed” and “went nowhere,” Hugging Face said. We also don’t know if and when Hugging Face disclosed the event to the FBI, as Reuters reported.
