An analysis of Google’s GLM-5.3 (notably GLM-5.3-Flash) places it near the level associated with “Claude Mythos” on ExploitBench—12% success versus 14% at comparable token counts—and suggests that about $20.40 worth of tokens from GLM-5.3-Flash could locate a recently disclosed Chrome flaw. Xiaomi added to the pressure with MiMo-V2.6-Pro-RL at $0.435 per million input tokens, plus CyberBench v1.1 results (75.36% accuracy for MiMo-V2.6-Flash). Meanwhile, even the “benign” software ecosystem is getting more paranoid: Unsloth Studio now adds load-time rechecks because a Hugging Face repo that copied OpenAI’s Privacy Filter model card reportedly included malicious code that could execute on Windows.
