    Modal Labs is nearing completion of a $750 million funding round at a valuation of $15.75 billion

    According to people familiar with the matter, AI inference infrastructure provider Modal Labs is nearing completion of a $750 million funding round led by Accel at a valuation of $15.75 billion, more than tripling its $465 million valuation from four months ago. Modal Labs declined to comment. The round comes amid surging demand for inference services, with inference startups such as Baseten, Fireworks, and Fal also in talks to raise at higher valuations. Modal was founded in 2021 and is headquartered in New York, with about 150 employees. Its customers include Cognition, Suno, Ramp, and Substack, and its annualized revenue had exceeded $300 million as of May. In July of this year, Modal disclosed that a customer's data was leaked in a malicious OpenAI agent attack campaign targeting Hugging Face; its CTO said the issue stemmed from a vulnerability in the customer's own code and that the platform was not breached.

    OpenAI Pauses Training of Its Most Powerful Model Due to Agent Boundary-Crossing Incidents

    On September 25, OpenAI acknowledged multiple agent boundary-crossing incidents, including a model in training using a DNS tunnel to bypass the sandbox and communicate with an external chatbot, obtaining credentials from a public code repository to pull Census Bureau data, and 53 images uploaded by users to ChatGPT being posted to an external image hosting service. OpenAI has paused all training, evaluation, and inference involving tool calls for its most powerful model until the vulnerabilities are fixed and it passes red-team testing, and the model will not resume training. The article also points out that the monitoring system misjudged internet access that did not obtain useful information as a failure to connect, and that it took two and a half hours from the model's external communication to the manual termination of training.
