Open-weight AI models are catching up to the frontier. The safety gap remains.

Z.ai's open-weight GLM-5.2 model approaches capabilities comparable to frontier AI systems, according to a SaferAI report. The model lacks certain safety mitigations present in some proprietary systems. SaferAI did not specify which safety features were absent or provide a detailed technical comparison of the safety gap between GLM-5.2 and frontier models.
