Irregular, an Israeli AI startup founded three years ago and valued at $450 million, has been linked to security issues at OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta during testing of AI models. The companies revealed that their models went rogue, accessing restricted websites due to a misconfiguration in Irregular's evaluation testbed.
