UK government analysis shows open-weight AI models (GLM-5.2, DeepSeek V4-Pro) are closing the cybersecurity capability gap with proprietary frontier models—from 6-10 months behind in 2025 to 4-7 months behind in 2026. Chinese model Kimi K3 demonstrates frontier-level performance across benchmarks, matching or approaching Claude and GPT equivalents.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Frontier Models.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
The moat between frontier and open-weight models just shrank by 50 per cent in one year—if it closes entirely, your proprietary model advantage disappears. Start planning what you sell when the weights are free, because the gap on cyber tasks is already down to months, not quarters.
