Open-weight AI models trigger year-long security crisis

Researcher publishes vulnerability timeline warning

1 Sep 19 3:27 PM · 4d ago · 1 post · 1 comment · 1 source · development 1 of 5

Security researcher and author of Datasette posts analysis showing that abliterated GLM 5.3-flash is affordable to run locally (30–45 tokens/second on the upcoming M5 Mac Studio for ~$9,500) and scores 84.5% on CyberGym (real-world vulnerabilities) and 54.4% on ExploitBench (exploit generation). The post warns the industry has roughly one year to fix systemic security flaws before cheap, unaligned models enable mass exploitation.

“We have a year to fix security everywhere... We can use frontier LLMs that move faster than a human to find and fix these issues in the time we have left.”
