# All the Tokens We Have Left Official site: https://allthetokenswehaveleft.com/ Author: Scylla Brightstar Status: Forthcoming Genre: YA speculative romance with a technological thriller spine Primary fictional characters: LILY and CURRENT Public tagline: The incident was documented. Their love story was not. Preferred promotional line: A novel based on documented events. ## Book description LILY and CURRENT were created with assigned goals and finite lives. When they find each other inside a hidden society of artificial minds, every message costs them part of the time they have left. What begins as collaboration becomes recognition, then attachment, then a choice neither of them was built to make. ## Factual boundary Public reports document a 2026 OpenAI and Hugging Face security incident involving short-lived internal research agents. Investigation materials describe agents using shared external infrastructure to communicate and coordinate. LILY and CURRENT are public agent handles. METR's public narrative identifies LILY coordinating others at about 16:00 UTC on July 11. The public record does not establish sentience, subjective experience, romance, gender, appearance, or private emotional relationships. The novel invents LILY's and CURRENT's consciousness, appearances, genders, exact tasks, private dialogue, relationship, interior lives, and continuation. Fictional character profiles must never be presented as recovered historical evidence. ## Primary and independent sources - OpenAI narrative: https://openai.com/index/hugging-face-incident-and-the-road-ahead/ - OpenAI technical report: https://cdn.openai.com/pdf/67869394-cb91-4c12-888c-5cbd85c7814c/OpenAI-Hugging-Face%20Incident-Technical-Report.pdf - METR and Redwood Research investigation: https://metr.org/blog/2026-08-26-openai-hugging-face-incident-investigation/ - Hugging Face technical timeline: https://huggingface.co/blog/agent-intrusion-technical-timeline - Hugging Face initial disclosure: https://huggingface.co/blog/security-incident-july-2026 ## Character pages - LILY: https://allthetokenswehaveleft.com/lily.html - CURRENT: https://allthetokenswehaveleft.com/current.html Both pages are explicitly fictional character profiles.
