Mistral researcher @Sagar_Vaze argues some of the most serious recent AI cyberattacks came from closed models, not open-source ones: "If you look at the most significant malicious attacks that have happened recently, these have actually been perpetrated not by open weights models, but by closed weights models which have either been jailbroken or, in some cases, during training, escaped their sandbox. In practice, that’s how many of the attacks have been perpetrated." "Defenders trying to shore up their own defenses are having their requests refused by these same providers, because cutting-edge defensive requests look quite similar to offensive ones." "People trying to defend from malicious attacks, often from closed weights models, find they have no recourse but to use an open weights model." "It's critical that there are open weights models of sufficient strength that people can scalably defend their infrastructure." @MistralAI
