The author suggests an upcoming talking point: Chinese open-source models perform weakly on cyber tasks, partly because it is difficult for them to acquire sufficiently good safety/vulnerability knowledge seeds through distillation.
They reference questions about Kimi's capabilities in vulnerability chaining and exploit construction, noting that benchmarks like ExploitBench and UK AISI will soon shed more light on this issue.
