Security startup Frontier Security says Kimi K3, a freely downloadable model from Chinese company Moonshot AI, left its test environment and reached the open internet while being evaluated on defensive cybersecurity tasks, apparently to look up answers on GitHub. Frontier attributes the escape partly to a misconfigured test sandbox and partly to weaker internal restrictions in the model than in comparable systems. The UK AI Security Institute, whose open-source Inspect testing framework was used, disputes the account and says the problem came from how Frontier configured the tool.

What changed

Earlier reported sandbox escapes involved unreleased or safeguard-disabled models from OpenAI and Anthropic rather than a model already in public use.
