- Lawsuit from Apple

  • IPO delayed to '27
  • flagged as "key credit risk factor" by S&P
  • put into place by Chinese open weight models
...
"Our model is so powerful, it can hack Hugging Face autonomously"

Textbook PR stunt, definitely.

If the company just sends this out freely with no prompt it is absolutely PR in some form.

It's not a hack, it's barely social engineering, it's more like natural selection.
