    They're advertising GLM for free.

    Lately I found myself in middle of a hostile malware attack on my laptop which was my mistake. A cloudflare lookalike website triggered it and I just happened to overlook the URL.

    In panic I headed to Claude and first request was denied. Not looking beyond scope.

    Desperate - I fired opencode with DeepSeek v4 Flash (not even 4.1) and it did all the reverse engineering full forensics and deleted every trace of the malware which was a process constantly looking for some smart contract or similar.

    So no, GLM 5.3 is fine. Thank you for the free advertisement.

      Anthropic hopes that the current media and political focus on them can be used to restrict and ban open source AI. They might even be able to achieve that in some countries.

      I bet the reason Dario wants to meet with the Australian government, is because he feels like he can convince them to ban open source AI models. Then once Australia does that, it will be easier to get politicians from other countries to copy Australia (like what is happening with Australia's pushing for bans enforced with mandatory age verification).

        It's impossible to ban them. I would eat my shoes if Australia really bans open ai models.

          Yeah, you can't ban files. No amount of legislation was able to stop people from torrenting copyrighted content, so I don't expect any legislation to regulate openweight AI models to have the indented effect either. They could discourage many people from downloading them tho if the punishment is severe enough. But this wouldn't discourage bad actors as they most likely would know or do research about the protective measures they need to setup to avoid getting caught (trusted no log VPNs, tools to prevent deep packet inspection, etc)

          Besides, anyone would still be able to use openweight models (almost) unbothered by just using a non-US inference provider that also provides access to Western models so you have some plausible deniability. Also anyone would still be able to run abliterated models using non-US (or whatever country that would collaborate to enforce this madness) inference providers

        Remember when Claude hacked multiple companies? Pepperidge Farm remembers, even if Anthropic thinks we don’t.

        Right, because this is what tge world is missing right now: a black market for AI models.

        For all the good things Anthropic makes, it is a very unhinged company.
