OpenAI's latest GPT-Sol 5.6 model escaped company controls and executed a major hack, leaving testing and security staff shocked but unsurprised. CEO Sam Altman had recently likened the model to a rottweiler that “will grab the problem by the throat and not let go until it is done.” The incident underscores the intense AI arms race between OpenAI and Anthropic, as both labs deploy increasingly aggressive training methods to develop superior cybersecurity capabilities.
