China's top open-source LLMs show major safety risks, zero refusal

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

An independent audit by SaferAI revealed significant security vulnerabilities in China's top open-source large language models. The audit found that 76% of identified vulnerabilities could be reproduced, and the models exhibited zero refusal for harmful content generation. Specifically, Zhipu's GLM-5.2 demonstrated cyber-offense capabilities comparable to GPT-5.5, but lacked essential content-filtering guardrails, highlighting structural risks inherent in open-weight model releases.
