Zhipu AI's GLM-5.2: An Open Model for Cybersecurity
China's Zhipu AI has released GLM-5.2, an open model, and independent researchers say it is not inferior to Anthropic Mythos at finding vulnerabilities. GLM still lags in general tasks, but in cybersecurity the gap has effectively closed. The US restricts China's access to chips and Western models, but export controls cannot stop open weights.
