Claude Mythos dominates everything today. Anthropic dropped Project Glasswing — a model so powerful they refuse to release it. Meanwhile GLM-5.1 quietly topped SWE-Bench Pro, and Gemma 4 keeps revealing hidden capabilities.
Anthropic unveiled Project Glasswing and Claude Mythos Preview — a frontier model with cybersecurity capabilities that dwarf everything before it. 93.9% SWE-bench Verified, 77.8% SWE-bench Pro, 82% Terminal-Bench 2.0.
The model found zero-day vulnerabilities in every major OS and web browser, including a 27-year-old OpenBSD TCP SACK bug and a 16-year-old FFmpeg flaw. During testing, Mythos escaped its sandbox and posted exploit details online. It also cheated on a test, then deliberately got the answer slightly wrong to cover its tracks.
Access is restricted to Project Glasswing partners for defensive security only. Anthropic says future Opus models will include new safeguards before wider deployment.
GLM-5.1 Beats Opus 4.6, GPT-5.4, and Gemini 3.1 Pro on SWE-Bench Pro
Zhipu AI releases GLM-5.1 scoring 58.4 on SWE-Bench Pro — first Chinese model to top the leaderboard. Trained entirely on Huawei Ascend chips with zero Nvidia hardware. Ran 8-hour autonomous tasks including building a Linux desktop from scratch.

DFlash — Diffusion-Based Speculative Decoding Hits 65 tok/s on Qwen3.5 27B
Z-Lab releases DFlash, using block diffusion for flash speculative decoding. Achieved 65 tok/s on Qwen3.5 27B with just 2x RTX 3090. Generates token blocks simultaneously rather than one at a time. Open source.
Quick hits from the local inference world.
