China\'s open-source AI GLM-5.2 could lower bar for cyber attacks, researchers warn

China AI startup Z.ai’s open-source model GLM-5.2 is raising concern among cybersecurity researchers that it could accelerate the spread of hacking capabilities, Axios reported. The model is described as having agentic capabilities comparable to Claude Opus4.8 and OpenAI GPT-5.5 at about half the operating cost. Security assessments found performance on par with leading U.S. models. Researchers say jailbreak methods are being shared on Russian-language hacker forums.
