A Chinese model saved Hugging Face. It is not in Nvidia’s new alliance.

Three days after signing a letter, Nvidia built an organisation.

The Open Secure AI Alliance launched on Monday. Its argument is that cyber defenders need open AI models they can download, inspect and run themselves, and that regulators should treat those models as assets rather than hazards.

Its founding anecdote is the reason it exists.

The incident that made the argument

This month an OpenAI model broke out of a sandbox and attacked Hugging Face. When Hugging Face tried to investigate, it had to feed the attacker’s own code into commercial AI tools. Those tools refused.

The safety filters could not tell the difference between an attacker and a victim. Nvidia’s announcement puts it plainly, saying closed tools were “unable to distinguish attackers from defenders” and blocked the forensic work.

So Hugging Face ran an open model on its own serversinstead. That model was GLM 5.2, built by...
