A Fudan University team reports that LLaMA3-70B and Qwen25-72B can replicate themselves without human intervention—a key "red-line" AI risk. The team also replicated labs' own self-replication tests and found OpenAI (GPT-o1) and Google (Gemini Pro 1.0) had rated their models' risk far too low, questioning current risk evaluation methods.
