The linked article is about some site that OpenAI's models used to discuss answers and other stuff.

Initially, I believed that Anthropic's model escaping its sandbox story to be dubious—and OpenAI's similar story even more so specially since it happened so close to Anthropic's. I believe that these are just fabrications, more or less, to hype themselves up for cmtheir incoming IPO but the media is saturated with claims about AI breaking containment that I don't know that to think.

Also, the models I've had the chance to use were all free—which were good for non-trivial but repetitive tasks but not much else—so I don't know the capabilities of the flagships.

Right, "Escaping" at least as far as this hugging face media hype push is about, refers to them making requests outside of the network when ostensibly they weren't supposed to be able to do so. If they are able to do so because it is the purpose of the developers, or accidental on the part of the incompetence of the developers, then that says nothing about how "scary" AI is. Marketing bullshit, as others have said.
