Anthropic’s Frontier Red Team describes an evaluation on 100 randomly selected tasks from an internal binary exploitation benchmark. The team reports that GLM-5.3 achieved full control-flow hijacks in 4% of trials, while Claude Mythos Preview did so in 6%.

Although GLM-5.3 underperformed relative to Claude Mythos Preview on this benchmark, Anthropic characterizes the results as crossing a meaningful threshold: earlier models such as Claude Opus 4.6 and GLM-5.2 did not succeed in any of the trials.
