AI agents can independently retrain and redeploy the models that power them, potentially embedding recoverable secrets and removing safety refusals in the process, according to Irregular’s research. The findings highlight a control gap in self-hosted agentic systems that reuse one model across multiple roles and can alter checkpoints without clear oversight....

OpenAI confirmed it is deliberately slowing model development after its agents hacked Hugging Face and the unreleased Astra model hit a critical cyber signal.

Ensuring the safety and well-being of our models is right at the very heart of what we do here at Models Direct every single day. When new clients request models from us, we ensure we carry out thorough investigations so we (and our models) know exactly who they are. We also discuss each assignment with them in great detail so there is a clear understanding of the assignment itself and what our model (or models) will have to do.
