AIAnthropic is launching a new study using Anthropic Interviewer to gather people's experiences with AI and what they want from AI companies. Participants can choose to make their full interview public, with their Claude account information excluded, though others may still be able to re-identify them. The study follows a prior project in which 81,000 people shared their hopes and worries about AI.
AIAnthropic reports that Zhipu AI's GLM-5.3 can autonomously build end-to-end cyber exploits and is released without meaningful safeguards against misuse. In its simulated tests, attackers bypassed the model's safeguards 64% to 100% of the time using simple techniques, while the same attacks failed against safeguarded Claude models. Anthropic also cites an NIST CAISI assessment calling GLM-5.3 the most cyber-capable open-weight model released to date.
Why it matters: The report shows how open-weight safeguards fail under simple bypasses, offering concrete test figures for judging misuse risk in released models.
