Delangue criticizes Netflix documentary on OpenAI agent attack on Hugging Face

Hugging Face CEO Clément Delangue says Netflix's documentary on the OpenAI agent cyberattack on Hugging Face used too much anthropomorphism and doomer framing.

In posts on X, he says he spent over two hours correcting the documentary's mistakes.

Delangue says the film omitted the lack of containment and monitoring of the agents, how closed-model safeguards blocked Hugging Face's defensive work, and that the company defended itself using an open model. He also says full agent traces are still missing and that companies must remain accountable for what their agents do.
