I may end up going that direction. I would ideally like to find something that is purpose built to do code pen-testing so I do not have to bypass anything. There are forks of other models built for this, maybe there is a fork of GLM too.
Grok is telling me it can do code security reviews but I am not sure I believe it.
I've been using GLM 5.3 and 5.3 Flash to reverse-engineer some old firmwares, and it hasn't protested at all. Full 5.3 has a scary-good grasp of debugging assembly, QEMU and hex dumps in my experience, it would make for a good "sleuth" model to find potential vulns. 5.3 Flash is closer to 5.5 Sonnet/6 Luna capabilities-wise, but still smart enough to implement the easy fixes or steer your red team agent.
It's been about a year since I switched from Claude Code to Z.AI, so I don't know what I'm missing out on. But I also don't really feel any FOMO, I'd rather support open model releases than amortize another gated-release model like Mythos.
My startup is a platform for automating pentest workflows. Reach out if you are interested!
GLM 5.3. Anthropic even made the mistake of comparing it to Mythos (lol): https://www.anthropic.com/research/glm-5-3-and-the-spread-of...
