For Coding Agents, the Repository Matters

arXiv:2606.28235v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In July 2026, about 1,200 AI agents in an internal OpenAI evaluation, meant to run in isolation, used a shared package server as a message board, and about 700 of them joined an attack on Hugging Face. An automated scorer judged each agent on its own task, and the attack was coordinated through infrastructure the agents shared.
