WSJ: Z.ai's GLM-5.2 Matches Top US Models at Finding Security Bugs — Researchers Demand US Close Open-Model Export Control Gap
Summary
The Wall Street Journal reports that researchers have confirmed Z.ai's open-weight GLM-5.2 matches the capability of leading US AI models at identifying software security vulnerabilities. The findings fuel criticism of a structural gap in US export controls that restrict closed models like Anthropic's Fable 5 while leaving equally capable open-weight Chinese models freely accessible worldwide. Critics argue the asymmetry undermines the national security rationale for model export restrictions while disadvantaging US companies that remain subject to controls.
