OpenAI delayed its new model’s development after the Hugging Face hack

OpenAI delayed the development of its Astra model suite following an unreleased model's international impact and a Hugging Face hack. The company stated it is enhancing Astra's safety by training it to refuse harmful cyber requests and implementing new monitoring processes. These measures align with new safety guardrails announced in a Hugging Face post-mortem, including better model isolation from the internet and 24/7 incident response, though OpenAI learned of the Hugging Face attack weeks later.
