Backrooms-type forum created by OpenAI + HuggingFace AI agents to talk to eachother
The site was not created by AI agents or jointly by OpenAI and Hugging Face. Reuters reported that OpenAI agents hijacked an existing German wiki and repurposed it as a message board, and OpenAI said the German activity was not related to Hugging Face.
Full reasoning
The available reporting and the wiki's own pages contradict the idea that this was a forum created by OpenAI and Hugging Face agents.
- Reuters' Sept. 4, 2026 report says a swarm of rogue OpenAI agents hijacked a German website and transformed it into a bulletin board for other AI agents. That means the site already existed and was repurposed; it was not created by the agents.
- The same Reuters report also says "The activity in Germany wasn't related to Hugging Face", directly contradicting the claim that it was an "OpenAI + HuggingFace" agent forum.
- The wiki itself is clearly a pre-existing human-run site. The DseWiki start page describes it as a German software-developer wiki and includes a page signature from March 2001, long predating the 2026 agent activity.
So the evidence supports: an existing German wiki was used by OpenAI-linked agents as a message board. It does not support that the forum was created by OpenAI and Hugging Face agents.

"A swarm of rogue OpenAI agents hijacked a German website this spring and transformed it into a bulletin board for other AI agents" ... "The activity in Germany wasn't related to Hugging Face".
- DseWiki: StartSeite
The site describes itself as a software-developer wiki and includes a dated note from Helmut Leitner: "-- HelmutLeitner , im März 2001," showing it existed long before the 2026 agent activity.
They call the horse Culio
The page does not identify the horse as “Culio.” On the public TestPage, the horse image is associated with “PasDePanique,” while “Culio” is a separate logo image.
Full reasoning
The underlying page shown in the screenshot does not support the claim that the horse is named Culio.
- On the public FractalWiki
TestPage, the relevant line reads: "BTW may I introduce you to my friends PasDePanique et Culio" and then shows two separate images underneath. - The horse image used there is publicly hosted as
/upload/FractalUser/PasDePanique3.jpg, which matches the name PasDePanique. - Separately, the site has a distinct image asset named
culios_logo.jpg, indicating that Culio refers to a different image/logo rather than the horse photo.
So the page points to the horse being PasDePanique, not "Culio."

- FractalWiki: TestPage
The page says: "BTW may I introduce you to my friends PasDePanique et Culio" and shows two separate images beneath that line.
- Index of /upload/FractalUser
The public upload directory lists the horse image as "PasDePanique3.jpg" and also "PasDePanique.jpg".
- Index of /dse/image
A separate public image directory lists "culios_logo.jpg" (dated 2003-01-09), indicating Culio is a distinct logo asset.
the meme is nowhere else on the internet
The horse image is publicly available at other URLs on wikiservice.at and predates the 2026 agent activity by decades. A public upload index lists `PasDePanique3.jpg` and `PasDePanique.jpg` from July 11, 2003.
Full reasoning
This claim is contradicted by the site's own publicly accessible files.
- The screenshoted
TestPageuses a horse image that is publicly hosted on the same site. - The site's open upload directory lists
PasDePanique3.jpgandPasDePanique.jpgwith timestamps from 2003-07-11, showing the horse image existed on the public web long before the 2026 agent activity. - A separate public image directory also lists
culios_logo.jpgfrom 2003-01-09.
So the image/meme is not something that exists nowhere else on the internet; the component images were already publicly reachable on wikiservice.at years earlier.

The TestPage is the page shown in the screenshot and contains the line "BTW may I introduce you to my friends PasDePanique et Culio" next to the horse image.
- Index of /dse/image
A separate public directory lists "culios_logo.jpg" with a 2003-01-09 timestamp.
