Why it matters
Low-cost, high-performing LLMs for automated vulnerability discovery lower the barrier for attackers, pressuring defenders to remediate security debt faster.
Dark Reading reports that two new Chinese AI models—Zhipu AI's open-weight GLM 5.2 and 360 Security Technology's Tulongfeng ('Dragon Saber')—are performing strongly on vulnerability-discovery benchmarks, with GLM 5.2 said to outperform Anthropic Opus and GPT-5.5 on some bug-finding tests at low cost, and 360 claiming its tool has already found more than 3,400 vulnerabilities. Experts warn that commodity models now widen the gap between attackers and defenders.
