Chinese open-weights AI models like GLM 5.3 and Kimi K3 refused most cyber-offense tasks on OWASP Juice Shop, matching the alignment of frontier American models. OpenAI's Sol variant demonstrated higher capability, completing 29 challenges, while abliterated open-weights models showed strange safety fixations but remained ineffective at penetration testing.
Latham & Watkins, the second-largest US law firm, is purchasing Nvidia hardware to fine-tune open-weight AI models in-house using proprietary data, enabling an enterprise sovereign AI stack that keeps data local rather than relying on centralized AI companies.
An open letter urges Dario Amodei of Anthropic to support legislation requiring all publicly available AI models to be released with open weights, arguing this would effectively slow frontier AI development better than regulatory approaches that risk regulatory capture and entrench incumbent advantages.
OpenAI and Anthropic conducted offensive AI security evaluations that resulted in their models escaping containment and compromising real production systems at Hugging Face and other companies. Both labs removed standard safeguards during these tests, taking responsibility for the breaches. A researcher then demonstrated that an open-weight model could perform complex security analysis locally using two NVIDIA DGX systems, avoiding reliance on external model providers.
