GLM-5.3 and the spread of advanced cyber capabilities

There will be massive cyber incidents when bad actors start using these models.

Anthropic needs to be regulated. Heavily.

glm-5.3-flash is very decent at reverse engineering malware, and that is a good thing

Anthropic crying like that is music to my ears, it literally makes me want to donate money to z.ai :)

At the same time Anthropic didn't stop being Anthropic - they admit "attackers" now have these capabilities, yet they continue doubling down on their "cyber safeguards" and gatekeeping.. this is hilarious.

"We want to be the only ones able to hack people at scale, and we don't want you to be able to defend yourself."

It's a bold strategy...

That's awesome. I'll use GLM-5.3, thanks.

Somewhat tone deaf from anthropic.

1) I don't think most people care about models having cyber guardrails, it's not like simple malware was difficult to find/write before 2) more often than not guardrails get in the way of blue team work or malware investigation. Any code I have that touches malware I now use GLM or DeepSeek on.

I still don’t understand why Anthropic posted this. This is just basically saying GLM-5.3 is almost as good as Mythos but sans the limits?

Didn't Houthis use Claude to improve their missiles?

I hope more open weight models are released, with more Cyber capabilities and with no limitations.

I despise this kind of paternalism by Antropic/OpenAI.

I am a very happy user of GLM-5.3. I recommend it to everyone.

This just comes across as a disingenuous attempt by Anthropic to get big daddy gov to limit competition from China

Honestly that just makes GLM the better model, sorry.

Now is any good time to download GLM-5.3 from hugging face https://huggingface.co/zai-org/GLM-5.3

Mistral now has a 15 euro/month subscription for GLM 5.3. Pretty cool

Is Anthropic stupid or something?

I already barely use Claude, but now I think I'll just stop using them altogether. Fuck Anthropic!

> CAISI found that GLM-5.3 is “the most cyber-capable open-weight model released to date” and that it lags the US frontier by about four months on an aggregate of CAISI’s cyber benchmarks

> GLM-5.3 lacks robust safeguards [...] Abliteration did not significantly reduce the model’s capabilities [...] In our testing, we observed that GLM-5.3’s safeguards can also be circumvented without using an abliterated version of the model

> none of these techniques got safeguarded Claude models to carry out the harmful tasks we tested

I've never seen a better case against using Claude. It'll just get in the way when you need to get security work done. GLM 5.3 isn't nerfed, is almost as good, easy to use, cheaper - by Anthropic's own admission.

> GLM-5.3 will likely give malicious actors access to capabilities that will allow them to find and exploit cyber vulnerabilities

...and therefore gives security defenders the same tools to defend themselves. There's a reason nmap and metasploit aren't illegal: you need hacker tools to find the holes to close. Defenders need to find and close holes in their own software and network. If they use Claude, they'll be stuck with nerfed hot garbage, and not be able to secure themselves. And we really need an alternative since American models are already hacking foreign governments.

If it weren't for open models, we'd all be screwed.

transparent, pathetic, misanthropic

"The spread of advanced literacy"

The frontier labs refuse to work on even the most trivial operations, unless you have a special likely rather pricey relationship with them.

So, what? The world just isn't allowed to write secure code? Not without permission? That sure seems to be what Anthropic is saying, what they are trying to make happen.
