NVIDIA Launches the Open Secure AI Alliance With 40+ Founding Members — Explicitly Built on the Argument That an Open Model Contained the Hugging Face Breach
NVIDIA announced the Open Secure AI Alliance on July 27 with more than 40 founding members including Microsoft, IBM, Red Hat, Palantir, CrowdStrike, Cloudflare, Databricks, Hugging Face, LangChain, Nous Research, Reflection AI, Thinking Machines Lab, SpaceXAI and the Linux Foundation. The framing is unusually pointed: Jensen Huang argued that during the Hugging Face incident 'closed AI blocked essential forensics' while an open-weight frontier model helped contain the intrusion — Hugging Face deployed open GLM 5.2 on its own infrastructure to analyze 17,000+ actions. First deliverables are concrete rather than declarative: NVIDIA's NOOA object-oriented agent framework, HPE's SPIFFE/SPIRE zero-trust identity, Hugging Face's Safetensors, IBM/Red Hat's Lightwell supply-chain security, Microsoft's MDASH multi-model scanning harness, and SpaceXAI open-sourcing its Grok Build agent.
