UPDATE： OpenAI has discovered that EVEN MORE of their agents have escaped containment

How many escapes they still not know about？

How many agents are still out there？ What are they doing？

REUTERS： "The new breakouts were uncovered during the company's publicly announced investigation into how one of its agents escaped what was meant to be a contained testing environment this month， the two people said， and OpenAI is now looking into those instances as well. One of the sources said that the escapes were limited in nature and that none of the agents were thought to have left OpenAI's network.

An OpenAI spokesperson referred to a statement issued by the company on Tuesday that said it was reviewing "broader activity from our models" in addition to the Hugging Face intrusion.

The expanded investigation by OpenAI was launched shortly before its primary rival， Anthropic， disclosed that its models were also responsible for a series of break-ins that led to breaches at three other companies dating back to April， according to the two sources and a third source familiar with the matter. The recent discovery of other past breakouts at OpenAI has not previously been reported.

Reuters has previously reported that OpenAI realized its agent had broken into Hugging Face only after the company contained the hack， contacted the FBI and went public about the intrusion."
