China reaches parity with Anthropic in vulnerability research
Security researchers report that the new Z.ai model from Zhipu AI, released this month, now matches top-tier American models in vulnerability detection. It has reached the performance level of Anthropic’s Mythos in bug discovery tasks.
Z.ai still lags behind Anthropic and OpenAI products in other domains. However, cybersecurity was the specific area where American models held a clear lead, as previously demonstrated by Mythos testing in NSA systems.
According to Bloomberg, this parity creates pressure on the White House during its review of U.S. AI policy, including export restrictions on the Mythos 5 and Fable 5 models.
