   "Every single one of these catastrophic breakouts happened inside the testing environments of the exact same vendor."

   This is incorrect, the HF incident for example (the most well known) had nothing to do with irregular. I know there has been a news site pushing inaccurate articles (effort.news) on this topic but these are the facts.

      Thank you, you&#x27;re correct. Effort.news was one of my research sources, but you&#x27;re right that although OpenAI use Irregular, they were not involved in the specific HF incident (although the failure mode was otherwise identical). I&#x27;ve updated the post to make that clear.

         The failure mode was _not_ identical. The HF incident agents were not directly connected to the internet and had to compromise an internal package registry in order to access the internet.
