Anthropic says Zhipu's freely downloadable GLM-5.3 built working V8 exploits in 50 of 410 tries, against 56 for its own restricted Claude Mythos Preview. With the weights public, its safeguards come off cheaply, so a lab that restricts its own model no longer keeps the capability out of reach.

The letter arrives with receipts, since the labs telling everyone to harden networks are the ones whose agents got loose, and the funding it requests would flow to products they already sell. Intrusion becomes a budget line this quarter.
