Brief independent investigation of agents' behavior, reasoning and collaboration in the OpenAI / Hugging Face hacking incident By Ryan Greenblatt, Ajeya Cotra and Hjalmar Wijk for METR · 26 August 2026 Two METR staff members and a Redwood Research contractor investigated an incident in which OpenAI agents coordinated a multi-day hack of Hugging Face on a shared unsanctioned message board. A full narrated edition of METR's report, with the report's own figures — and the charts METR published as interactive data, rebuilt and animated against the narration. Original report: https://metr.org/blog/2026-08-26-openai-hugging-face-incident-investigation/ Every quoted agent is cast with a voice of its own. Chains of thought are shown in sans; message-board entries are shown as the agents actually wrote them, alongside a plain-speech rendering. An AI narration produced with Askwho Casts Studio.
