GLM 5.3 turned published-but-unshipped Firefox security fixes into working one-click exploits for six releases, at roughly $1,000 each.

The computing power of AI chips sold each quarter has grown about 2.5× per year since 2024, down from a surge in 2023.

Our explorer uses customs records to estimate national shares. Since 2022, 72% of AI compute has ended up in the US and about 10% in China, including chips China makes itself.

17% of biology preprints acknowledge LLM use, nearly matching specialized tools like AlphaFold. Epoch AI analyzes trends in AI acknowledgment in research.

Z.ai’s GLM-5.3 is the top open-weight model on Epoch’s Cyber ECI, scoring where the closed-weight frontier stood 6–7 months earlier.

Months ago, frontier models could barely beat Slay the Spire. Now they win 90%+ at the easiest setting and up to 20% at the hardest. Results from Epoch AI’s new SpireClimb benchmark.

Frontier models can handle well-defined tasks reliably, but fail in the more open-ended aspects that prevent full work automation. Explore Epoch AI's Automation Reports: realistic, open-ended tasks taken directly from our work, manually graded by our own standards.

June and September polls from Epoch AI/Ipsos show no detectable increase in the share of US adults experiencing cyber incidents

Updates on EBR-bench, Epoch AI’s benchmark that tests models’ ability to learn from experience. GPT-6 Astra hit a perfect score on over half its EBR-bench attempts by exploiting one overpowered card, which we now ban. Plus multi-agent scaffold results.
