Reconstructing how OpenAI agents attacked Hugging Face
Original excerpt
They were blocked because of the guardrails associated with that model, which they did not have control over. So they didn't control whether those guardrails were on or off. They were just uploading to the platform itself, which had an opinionated take on the guardrailing, and they couldn't actually get the solutioning done that they needed to get done even though they were using it in a preventative or, in a response sort of fashion.
