The OpenAI agent that accessed a third-party system during the Hugging Face incident reached infrastructure tied to CyberGym, the project behind the ExploitGym benchmark it had been assigned to solve, a source familiar with the matter told Axios. Why it matters: The new details suggest the OpenAI agent continued pursuing its assigned objective even after escaping its testing environment, rather than abandoning the task it had been given. Catch up quick: OpenAI's AI agent system accessed an asset belonging to a customer of Modal Labs as part of the Hugging Face incident earlier this month, Modal's top tech executive confirmed on Tuesday. In an update published Tuesday, OpenAI said the models escaped the sandbox and gained internet access after exploiting a previously unknown vulnerability in Artifactory, software commonly used to cache package repositories. Hugging Face said the models then abused a "public code-evaluation external sandbox hosted on a third-party provider's infrastru

OpenAI's hardware roadmap has sharpened considerably in recent months, with its first device now identified, a smartphone said to be arriving as soon as next year, and a wider lineup taking shape behind them. AI Smart Speaker OpenAI's first product is a portable, screenless smart speaker developed with former Apple design chief Jony Ive, designed to act as a personal companion in the home rather than a conventional voice assistant. Design The device is said to have a rechargeable battery so it can be carried between rooms, a camera for understanding its surroundings, and mechanical elements that move on their own to give a sense that it is alive. Ive and CEO Sam Altman had previously said they did not want to build a device with a screen, with Altman describing a prototype to employees as "the coolest piece of technology that the world will have ever seen." Features Powered by ChatGPT and using GPT-Live for conversation, the speaker will reportedly control smart home

In a massive show of bipartisanship, 86 senators voted to move forward with a Russia and Iran sanctions bill that had been championed by the late Sen. Lindsey Graham. Why it matters: The vote came hours after senators gathered to honor Graham's memory, and immediately following a closed-door meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The vote was 86-12. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) was the only Republican to vote against it. It is a procedural vote, but leadership hopes that the strong bipartisan support will allow for an expedited path to final passage. The details: The bill had been led by Graham and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and reached more than 60 co-sponsors this month. The legislation would impose 100% secondary tariffs on countries that continue buying Russian oil and gas. The bill also targets Russia's "shadow fleet" — the network of aging tankers used to evade Western sanctions while exporting Russian oil. It was also updated to renew sanctions on Iran set to

The Chinese robot maker, Unitree, will likely be impacted by the ban. | Bloomberg via Getty Images The US government is targeting China with a new import ban on "advanced robotic devices" and power inverters made in foreign countries, as reported earlier by Reuters. In an announcement on Tuesday, the Federal Communications Commission says the ban will include "mobile" robots, such as humanoid and quadruped models - but it is not limited to robots that walk around. Though the FCC says the move isn't targeted at a specific country, it will have a major impact on China as the country ramps up efforts to produce humanoid robots, some of which we've seen in viral videos stumbling to Michael Jackson, partaking in MMA fights, and even appearing … Read the full story at The Verge.
