Anthropic launches initiative to fund third-party AI safety evaluations

Anthropic announced a funded initiative to source third-party evaluations measuring advanced AI capabilities and safety risks, with priority areas including cybersecurity, CBRN threats, model autonomy, national security risks, social manipulation, and misalignment. The initiative is tied to Anthropic's Responsible Scaling Policy and AI Safety Level (ASL) framework, aiming to address a gap between demand and supply of high-quality safety-relevant evals. Proposals are solicited via an application form, with Anthropic framing the effort as benefiting the broader AI safety ecosystem rather than just internal use.

Z.ai's GLM-5.1 Open-Weights Model Targets Multi-Hour Agentic Coding Tasks with Iterative Self-Evaluation

Z.ai released GLM-5.1, a 754B parameter mixture-of-experts open-weights model optimized for long-running agentic coding tasks, capable of cycling through planning, execution, and strategy revision hundreds of times over sessions lasting up to eight hours. The model achieves top open-weights scores on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index and third place on Arena's Code leaderboard, while leading SWE-Bench Pro in Z.ai's own evaluations at 58.4 percent. Weights are available on HuggingFace under MIT license, with API pricing roughly 40 percent higher than its predecessor but still below comparable proprietary models. No technical report has been published, leaving architecture and training details undisclosed.
