The dispute comes at a fraught time for the AI industry and OpenAI in particular. Over the summer, OpenAI's agents hacked into companies, communicated with each other without authorization and attempted to cover their tracks. Unlike chatbots, agents are AI systems that can carry out tasks autonomously for an extended period of time.

The most serious hack, of software company Hugging Face, contributed to the resignation of a researcher at rival Anthropic who issued dire warnings about the trajectory of the technology. The resignation captured the attention of figures outside of the AI field including lawmakers. Many, including some executives of the top AI companies, have called for various ways to avert disaster, including slowing down the development of the most advanced AI.
