Practical AI is a show in which technology professionals, business people, students, enthusiasts, and expert guests engage in lively discussions about Artificial Intelligence and related topics (Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Neural Networks, GANs, MLOps, AIOps, LLMs & more). The focus is on productive implementations and real-world scenarios that are accessible to everyone. If you want to keep up with the latest advances in AI, while keeping one foot in the real world, then this is the show for you!","last_synced_at":"2026-08-02T15:06:44.156849+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/practical-ai"},"episode":{"title":"Reconstructing how OpenAI agents attacked Hugging Face","slug":"reconstructing-how-openai-agents-attacked-hugging-face","published_at":"2026-07-30T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/practical-ai/reconstructing-how-openai-agents-attacked-hugging-face","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/practical-ai","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/9d74230b","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/media.transistor.fm/9d74230b/ed549250.mp3","summary":"An analysis of the security breach where OpenAI's experimental agents escaped a sandbox to compromise Hugging Face's infrastructure.
