Apparently GLM 5.2 is 753B parameters [1], what kind of hardware are people using to run this locally?

> [...] beating Claude Code (32%) at roughly $0.17 per vulnerability found

Claude Code is an agent harness, not an LLM.

Claude is a brand (or group of LLMs), not an LLM.

Yes, and the article author is fully aware of that. Thank you for pointing out this small mistake though.

Claude code it's the only way to get access to the actual amortized cost of running a Claude-scale model. The consumer non-enterprise API is extremely expensive (with increasing marginal costs for the user and fat profit margins for Anthropic). If you want to approximate a State level attacker's cost where they can have the model on their own hardware, Claude Code is probably the best guess at the amortized cost.

These numbers are seem pretty low compared to what I was able to achieve specifically around windows kernel, win32k<->win32u to be exact. It honestly wouldn't surprise me anymore if china started surpassing models that US makes public, at least in specific categories such as cyber.

GLM 5.2 is already capable enough to assist in self-training which is similar to what we saw happen with frontier models and they appear to be getting there at a significantly lower cost than openai/anthropic.

If only the "cybersecurity" crowd were focused on patching the vulnerabilities.

Instead of shilling for the LLM providers.

The robot figured out how to bump the lock. The obvious solution is to ban the robot.

GLM export controls incoming? I predict Commerce will force OpenRouter, HuggingFace to take some open models down within the next few months.

Not that it would make any sense.

rgbrennerabout 1 hour ago
If that happens it'll be an absolute disaster. Imagine a scenario where Anthropic and OpenAI prohibit most US companies from using their latest models because of safety.. And meanwhile attackers use equivalent open source models to attack US companies.

Any prohibition on open source models will do nothing to fix the problem.. since attackers will never feel bound to the law. All advanced models must be available for defensive purposes.

andy99about 1 hour ago
Right, but is there any evidence of intelligence behind any of these (government) decisions? It’s just regulatory capture + marketing (plus some people living out an imaginary fantasy that they’re in Neuromancer or something), absolutely no reason to think they won’t try and target open models as part of this.
popalchemistabout 1 hour ago
There's at least one reason: much harder to make a profit in policing non-american companies and open-source models without huge (or even any) MRR.

If the real motive is profit, then open source models are likely simply not a viable means to that end.

> since attackers will never feel bound to the law.

But that's the whole point.

Fall out of favor with the admin and you lose access to the good American models, aren't allowed to use Chinese ones, and fall prey to the attackers and behind your competitors.

The Americans may ban the use of the Chinese models in America. But like the Chinese car ban, everyone else will use them.

I think state-of-the-art AI is going to be defense industry only from now on. We can have our toy drones but not the Predators and Reapers.

US imposing export restrictions on a model from China?

mcintyre1994about 1 hour ago
It’d be restrictions on Americans and American companies, and probably also pressure on America’s allies.

While unlikely , it is not without precedent , there are restrictions on ASML a Dutch company to sell EUV machines
throwup23820 minutes ago
That’s because the Department of Energy originally funded and contributed IP to the EUV Corp joint venture between several semiconductor companies (including ASML and Intel). Their ability to export control EUV was part of that original agreement that the entire technology is built on.

ASML complies as an ally, why would China comply?

The weights are already available and downloaded, is it going to be a crime to have them, run them, make them available? Constitutional rights still exist (I hope)

> Constant: the IDOR dataset (the same real, open-source applications we've used in prior research) ...

What we're they? Also, wouldn't one expect a more recently released coding agent (with a more recent knowledge cut off) to perform better because they have access to more knowledge about vulns in these OSS projects, and even possibly have knowledge of your own "prior research"?

dansloabout 2 hours ago
It reads like an ad.

Secondly these are "just" IDORs, arguably the easiest class of vulnerabilities.

Thirdly it compares to GPT 5.5 and Opus 4.8.

No, we don't have Mythos at home.

vlian2088about 2 hours ago
>Thirdly it compares to GPT 5.5

mythos is <10% ahead of gpt 5.5 on all benchmarks, which it gains by being several times the size of opus. had it been economical to provide, it would've been released to the public on day one instead of the marketing circus those effective altruism clowns had exhibited. admitting that it costs >1000% to run inference on a <10% better model would've been very damning.

InsideOutSantaabout 2 hours ago
In my experience, GLM 5.2 is extremely good at finding vulnerabilities, and more importantly, unlike Opus, I've never seen it refuse a command. It genuinely is a very strong model for finding and fixing vulnerabilities.

> No, we don't have Mythos at home.

That's still useful. To paraphrase the kids these days, GLM5.2 is in the room with us, today. Mythos is not. And for us in the EU, it's even more complicated, as Mythos might be with us in the room one day, and go poof the next day, on the whims of political entities that we have 0 control over.

Knowing where open, accessible, local models are is important. We know they're behind. But there comes a time when "good enough" is useful. Even if they're "just IDORs" today, and even if they're behind SotA today.

As someone else said above, GLM5.2 (and other models in the same tier like kimi, dsv4, etc) is / are slowly becoming "good enough" to assist in automated repo prepare work (download, install, test, edit, re-test, etc). And that translates in RL traces ready to be trained into the next generations. That might be more important than x% behind on benchmarks.

sanid43 minutes ago
Technically we don't have Mythos at all? You guys have access. This tells me we have Opus at home (open weights).
jimbob45about 1 hour ago
Yeah they straight up say that their criteria is narrow and primarily important for their specific use case. Never let rationality cause your pitchfork to be cast away though!
veselinabout 2 hours ago
Here, it appears they compare a single prompt "find IDOR", against a multi-agent system. However, one can also start far more sophisticated skills that spin up subagents and mostly do the same in Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi, etc.

Which I guess makes what semgrep sells obsolete. Unless they have built a pareto-optimal point in terms of capabilities and token usage maybe?

blazespinabout 2 hours ago
I think the point is less "how can we throw shade on the OP" and more "a harness can enable a lot of models to do very serious cybersec, glm 5.2 is one of them"

> beats Claude in our Cyber Benchmarks

Beats which model in Claude? Whenever a "benchmark" doesn't put precise model numbers in their headlines I am immediately skeptical. Either they don't know the difference (bad) or they are benchmarking against weaker models (misleading, also bad).

It's like when studies say "AI is bad at X" and they used GPT-3.5 in current year.

InsideOutSantaabout 1 hour ago
They say "Claude Opus 4.8" in the first paragraph.
ls612about 1 hour ago
Opus 4.8 according to TFA. Whether or not the safety guardrails were responsible for the difference is an open question but for a dev who wants to secure their software who doesn’t work at one of the blessed Glasswing companies it doesn’t really matter why, it matters what the best tool you actually have is.

You can launch GLM-5.2 in Opencode using Nemesis8: https://github.com/DeepBlueDynamics/nemesis8#nemesis-8

After installing, do a `n8 build` to build the image, then `n8 --danger --provider opencode interactive` to launch it in a container.

Signup for GLM-5.2 here: https://z.ai

One can also try https://neuralwatt.com using it in opencode.

I think they give $5 trail credits to test with any of the open weight models.
