Zhipu AI's GLM-5.3 nears Claude Mythos Preview in exploit generation, Anthropic reports

Anthropic has reported that Zhipu AI's open-weight model, GLM-5.3, demonstrates a near-equivalent capability to its own Claude Mythos Preview in generating cyber exploits. The analysis indicates that GLM-5.3's safety mechanisms are easily bypassed, with unlocked versions already in circulation. A specific Chrome exploit was reportedly created using the model for a low cost, and a US agency, CAISI, has corroborated these findings. AI

IMPACT Highlights the potential for open-weight models to be used for malicious purposes, increasing the need for robust safety research and development.
