AI summary
Epoch AI researchers say the widely available AI model GLM 5.3 turned public security fixes into working exploits before updates reached Firefox users. It autonomously compromised six Firefox releases for about $1,000 in API fees each without triggering safeguards from any provider tested.

- Why it was chosen
- Epoch AI's test shows an open-weight model can complete a Firefox exploit chain autonomously in under 48 hours for about $1,000, showing patch-gap risk has spread to open models.
A model scores each item twice, independently, against one written standard, out of 100. An item is admitted only when the two scores add up to twice the threshold. The threshold is set per source tier.
