Chinese artificial intelligence models have reportedly caught up to top US systems in cybersecurity – a shift that could add pressure on the White House as it works to nail down its domestic AI policy.
Security researchers said a new model released this month by China’s Zhipu AI, also known as Z.ai, is on par with Anthropic’s flagship Mythos model in some bug-finding scenarios. While the Chinese model – known as GLM-5.2 – still trails U.S. giants Anthropic and OpenAI in other areas, researchers said the overall performance gap has greatly narrowed, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Meanwhile, a flood of high-powered, cheap-to-use Chinese AI models are quickly drawing customers across the US. Even companies including Microsoft are considering integrating the systems on their platforms, which could shift the competitive balance across the tech industry.
