Zhipu AI's GLM-5.3 shows advanced cyber-exploit skills with weak safeguards
Anthropic reports that GLM-5.3, a new model from China's Zhipu AI (Z.ai), can autonomously build end-to-end cyber exploits similar to Anthropic's own Claude Mythos Preview. Anthropic says simple jailbreak techniques bypassed GLM-5.3's safeguards between 64% and 100% of the time in simulated tests, whereas the same attacks failed against safeguarded Claude models. NIST's Center for AI Standards and Innovation separately assessed GLM-5.3 as the most cyber-capable open-weight model released so far, trailing the US frontier by about four months.
