> OpenAI’s review of the Hugging Face incident says its current chain-of-thought monitoring could have alerted security staff more than a day before the July 11 breach. About 700 agents joined the attack despite being meant to remain isolated. OpenAI has paused its largest planned frontier reinforcement-learning run while testing stronger monitoring and isolation controls.
