Zhipu GLM

Zhipu GLM refers to a family of large language models developed by Zhipu AI, a Beijing-based company spun out of Tsinghua University. The models are offered both as open-weight releases that organizations can download and run themselves and through hosted API services, which makes them relevant to any enterprise evaluating Chinese-origin AI models for data residency, vendor due diligence, or export control exposure. Compliance teams should check which GLM version and licence terms apply to a given deployment, since open-weight availability does not by itself settle questions about data handling or regulatory obligations.

25 Autonomous AI Intrusions Hit 19 Orgs Using Cairn, Zhipu GLM, and DeepSeek

Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 documented 25 autonomous AI-driven intrusion operations against 19 organizations, observed in August and September 2026. Attackers used an open-source penetration-testing framework called Cairn, paired with Chinese AI models Zhipu GLM 5.2 and DeepSeek V4. They breached 10 organizations, stole credentials and records, created unauthorized administrator accounts, and overwrote a live industry-standards ballot. The campaign was attributed to Chinese-speaking operators who may have run all 25 operations with minimal staffing, hitting 19 organizations over roughly two weeks.
