  • Anthropic warns GLM-5.3 matches Claude Mythos in cyber exploits, lacks safeguards

    Anthropic's Frontier Red Team published a report stating that Zhipu's GLM-5.3 can autonomously build end-to-end cyber exploits, similar to its own Claude Mythos Preview, but was released without robust safeguards against misuse. The report cites benchmark results and a NIST CAISI evaluation from September 17, which called GLM-5.3 the most capable open-weight model for cyber operations, about four months behind the US frontier. Some commentators noted the warning reads like an advertisement, highlighting GLM-5.3's strong performance.
