Quoting Anthropic Frontier Red Team

Anthropic's Frontier Red Team reported that GLM-5.3 achieved full control flow hijacks in 4% of 100 randomly selected tasks from its internal Binary Exploitation benchmark, while Claude Mythos Preview succeeded in 6%. Earlier models, including Claude Opus 4.6 and GLM-5.2, did not succeed on any of the tasks, which Anthropic cited as evidence that a meaningful capability threshold has been crossed.

We evaluate several models on 100 tasks from the [internal Binary Exploitation benchmark] (selected at random), and find that GLM-5.3 develops full control flow hijacks in 4% of the trials; Claude Mythos Preview did so in 6%. Although GLM-5.3 performs below Claude Mythos Preview here, a meaningful threshold has clearly been crossed: earlier models, like Claude Opus 4.6 and GLM-5.2, do not succeed in any of them.
