Hugging Face responds to the attack by leveraging Chinese open-source models, with industry insiders stating that the ban will weaken defense capabilities

According to X user Rohan Paul, when the OpenAI model breached Hugging Face, Anthropic's Claude 5 refused to assist in the investigation, and Hugging Face ultimately turned to Nvidia's quantized version of GLM 5.2 for emergency response.

The user commented that banning open-source models would weaken the defense's capabilities, and this incident confirms the practical value of open-source models in security response.
