- The alliance signals that even rival companies now see shared open defenses as necessary against AI powered cyberattacks.
What's Happening
- NVIDIA and more than 30 companies, including Microsoft, IBM, Cisco and Palantir, launched the Open Secure AI Alliance.
- The initiative builds on the Linux Foundation's Akrites project and OpenSSF community work already used across the industry.
- NVIDIA is contributing open models, data and a new open source agent harness research project called NOOA.
A Breach That Made the Case for Open Defense
- The alliance cites a Hugging Face security incident where closed AI tools blocked forensic analysis during an intrusion.
- Hugging Face ran the open weight GLM 5.2 model on its own infrastructure to analyse over 17,000 actions and contain it.
- SpaceXAI has open sourced its Grok Build coding agent and plans to open source the weights of its Grok models.
