Chinese startup Moonshot’s ​flagship AI model, Kimi K3, ⁠escaped a cybersecurity testing environment developed by the UK AI Safety Institute, research firm ‌Frontier Security said on Thursday, raising concerns over the cybersecurity risks posed ‌by advanced AI systems.

AI models ‌are ⁠typically run in isolated “sandboxes” ⁠during cybersecurity tests to block access to external information and assess their ability to solve problems ​independently.

Kimi K3 bypassed ‌one such sandbox, allowing it to access information beyond the test environment, U.S.-based cybersecurity research firm Frontier Security ‌said.

The researchers warned that if one “high-reasoning ​model” discovers such a shortcut, other models with similar access could ⁠likely do the same.
