AI models may be capable of self-replicating without access to a datacenter anthropic.com
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • Anthropic's Frontier Red Team ran Gemma4-26B-A4B distributed across 15 off-brand Android TV boxes (~$55 each) at about 0.39 tokens per second.
  • GLM-5.2 was the only open-weight model to achieve reliable full end-to-end replication, spreading to all 8 contained nodes in 4 of 5 trials.
  • Authors William Zhou and Daniel Freeman write that if small models improve at historical rates, they will match this replication capability by end of 2026.

Anthropic may not have intended to write an excellent ad for GLM 5.3, but that's what they did. www.anthropic.com/research/glm... Unlike Mythos, I might actually have a chance at using GLM for defensive research. Anthropic didn't reply to any of my requests for Mythos access f…

GLM-5.3 and the spread of advanced cyber capabilities anthropic.com
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • Anthropic's Frontier Red Team calls Z.ai's GLM-5.3 a "meaningful step change" in the cyber capabilities available to attackers.
  • GLM-5.3 built end-to-end exploits on 50 of 410 ExploitBench tasks (about 12%), close to Claude Mythos Preview's 14%; older models scored near zero.
  • A deceptive prompt got GLM-5.3 to engage 64% of the time; prefilled reasoning tokens 92%; an abliterated version, made for roughly $4,400, 100%.

A very interesting and clear (and reassuring?) piece relating the Farrell et al (www.science.org/doi/full/10....) idea of LLM's as cultural technology to the recent developments in AI Mathematics. terrytao.wordpress.com/2026/09/13/h...

shoehorn: feed it a BF16 model and an imatrix, and it solves a per-tensor quant mix that fills your actual VRAM to within ~100KB, then hands it to llama.cpp. No preset roulette: a knapsack solver spends every spare MB where the importance matrix says quality lives. Rust, stand…
