Even in the AI age, some conversations are best had in person.Last week, after Hugging Face suffered an unusual security breach involving an AI agent running on OpenAI models, the company's CEO, Clem Delangue, boarded a flight to San Francisco to meet with the maker of ChatGPT.A week later, in the "spirit of transparency," Delangue shared on X what he asked of OpenAI.

He said he asked the leading AI startup to release all the "traces" of the rogue agent for the public and research community to study. And then he asked for $100 million worth of "compute" to help Hugging Face bolster its cyber defenses."The first autonomous agent cyberattack is an unprecedented event," he wrote.

"It deserves an unprecedented response!"OpenAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.Hugging Face operates a widely used platform that enables developers and companies to host, share, and download AI models and datasets.

OpenAI, meanwhile, builds proprietary models, but maintains a presence on Hugging Face, where versions of some of its open models and research materials are available.Last week, however, Hugging Face was struck with a security breach when an autonomous AI agent accessed some of its internal datasets. The culprits: OpenAI's latest models, GPT‑5.

6 Sol, and a new model yet to be released.Hugging Face first disclosed the intrusion on July 16, saying an autonomous agent had accessed a limited number of internal datasets and service credentials.Five days later, OpenAI said that GPT-5.

6 Sol and a more powerful, unreleased model had been undergoing an internal cybersecurity evaluation with some safety restrictions reduced. T
