If Open Models Hit Frontier Cyber Levels in Months, 'Check Back in 5-6 Months' — AI Cyber Attack Debate
xeophon · x · 2026-09-10
Replying to AlexBarry4's thread, xeophon commits to "checking back in 5-6 months" on whether things meaningfully change if open models reach Mythos/5.6-Sol-level cyber capabilities within 1-2 months.
Context from AlexBarry4: what currently prevents frontier models from powering widespread damaging cyberattacks is likely the classifiers Anthropic/OpenAI deploy—protections absent from open models, as shown by max-cyber no-refusal variants of K3 and GLM 5.3. The WeChat worm creator said AI dramatically sped up their week-long build. He worries about a feedback loop: attackers use AI to steal money, then reinvest it into more inference compute.
