Patel is discussing his firm's report that most "neoclouds", the newer GPU cloud providers, are bad at security. He says open source models can already be used to break into dozens of them and look at what other customers are doing. This is his own example of how exposed one provider was.
Yeah, so we posted an article titled Most NeoClouds Suck at Security. Documenting that. By the way,
the art for that is incredible. We'll put it on the screen for those who are watching. It's like this guy getting stabbed by everybody. And it's like, it's SOC too compliant. But yeah, so we
posted that report. And then that, you know, like maybe eight or eight hours later or whatever, Ilya posted his tweet because they are very much, you know, using various clouds. They're obviously super secretive and care a lot about the secrecy of like what they're working on. But also they are big believers in super intelligence. You know, I guess Safe Superintelligence SSI, they were the first. You know, Trump actually copied Ilya. Ilya's first with another one, right? First to reasoning, first to LLM scaling, and now first to superintelligence branding. But Ilya sort of tweeted that out and sort of echoed what we wrote, right? Which is like, look, most of these clouds are terrible at security. You can get open source models to just hack neo-clouds or get access to stuff within neo-clouds. GLM 5.3 especially is really good at this. So open source Chinese models can just hack dozens of the neo clouds that exist out there and you can go look at what other people are doing. And so we've seen stuff like this at other clouds. There was a cloud that we didn't even intend to, but we just accidentally ended up seeing all of the other clients on that cluster, seeing what stuff they had in storage, see what stuff they had in Slurm, et cetera. And there were intelligence agencies, right? So we immediately reported it to them. We're like, yo.
Which intelligence agencies?
We cannot say. I don't think that's a good thing to say.
National, like federal, well, security agencies and governments.
