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.

Nvidia Plans $250 Billion Guarantee for OpenAI to Lease SoftBank's Ohio Data Center

Nvidia is in talks to provide OpenAI with a roughly $250 billion financing guarantee to help it lease computing power from a large data center project in southern Ohio developed by a SoftBank energy subsidiary. The 10-gigawatt facility relies on US government-controlled electricity and Japanese funding under a recent trade deal. Nvidia's guarantee would cover lease costs and debt financing but not its own chips. OpenAI has been in deep negotiations for weeks, while Anthropic, Microsoft, and Google have also contacted Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who oversees power allocation. Nvidia has already invested $30 billion in OpenAI. The arrangement, described as 'circular financing,' involves Nvidia's portfolio companies typically using its chips. Nvidia shares fell nearly 4% to a market value of about $4.8 trillion as of July 26, 2026.
