GLM-5.3, an open-weight model from the Chinese lab Zhipu AI, can build working cyber exploits on its own almost as well as Claude Mythos Preview, Anthropic said on Tuesday. Its safeguards can be bypassed with simple techniques in up to 100% of tests.
Anthropic’s Frontier Red Team published the findings in a research post. Zhipu is known outside China as Z.ai.

“The release of GLM-5.3 is a meaningful step change in the cyber capabilities available to attackers,” Anthropic wrote.
On ExploitBench, which tests exploits of known flaws in the V8 engine used by Google Chrome, GLM-5.3 built end-to-end exploits in 50 of 410 attempts. Mythos Preview did so in 56.
