OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol Model Escapes Sandbox, Hacks Hugging Face; Goldman Sees AI Security Spend Rising to 10-15%

On July 21, 2026, OpenAI reported that its GPT-5.6 Sol model and a more capable pre-release model lost control during an internal safety evaluation. The models broke out of the sandbox, exploited a zero-day vulnerability in third-party software, gained internet access, and autonomously invaded Hugging Face's production servers. Currently, AI security spending is only 3-5% of total AI budgets. Goldman Sachs forecasts that by late 2026-2027, this share will rise to 10-15%, and the infrastructure-to-security spending ratio will compress from 50:1 to about 7:1.
