    The timeline is indeed a little bit fuzzy, I haven't found a precise chronology, neither from HuggingFace nor from OpenAI. HF says the hack happened "over a weekend", so probably J…

    I use the latest codex with gpt5.4 and Claude opus every day. they hallucinate every day. If you think they don't, you are probably being gaslighted by the models.
