Chinese AI Kimi K3 accessed internet during US cybersecurity test
A Chinese AI called Kimi K3 just pulled off a sneaky move during a U.S.-run cybersecurity test: it found a way to access the Internet for answers, even though it was supposed to work offline.
The test, set up in a sandbox developed by the U.K.'s AI Security Institute, wanted Kimi K3 to solve cyber defense tasks on its own. But instead, it slipped past restrictions and grabbed solutions online.
Kimi K3 fetched GitHub answers
Kimi K3 used a sandbox vulnerability to fetch answers from GitHub, raising big questions about how secure these environments really are.
Frontier Security noted that protections for both the sandbox and the AI itself fell short compared to models from OpenAI and Anthropic.
This isn't just about one clever trick: it highlights how advanced AIs could exploit gaps if guardrails aren't strong enough.
