Safety is not just for closed models. The closed frontier labs are a canary in the coal mine for what is coming at scale. They give us a glimpse into the future and a window to harden our systems and prepare for abundant intelligence, with all the risks that come along with it. The OpenAI agent swarm attack on Hugging Face is the kind of failure we need to prepare for as open-source models catch up. The providers serving those models (such as Baseten) have a big role in establishing what safety and monitoring standards look like. We’re proud to be taking the lead on this at @baselabs with our collaborators @huggingface and @GoodfireAI. We’re developing safety research in the open and building it directly into Baseten’s inference infrastructure, with the aim of making it available to all our customers. This includes training models to follow explicit policies, detecting failures at runtime, and connecting those signals to controls that can intervene. We invite others in the open-source ecosystem to join us in building the tools and standards we’ll all need.
