X discussion: open-source AI builder Jun Song says he turned down an anonymous black hat group offering huge money to post-train open-weight models on exploit data
At 02:20 UTC on Nov 1, open-source AI builder Jun Song (@jun_song, who builds Supergemma) posted on X that an anonymous black hat group offered him an "astronomical" sum to post-train open-weight models with reinforcement learning on the exploit data it holds. He said the volume was so large he would have believed it was an undercover FBI dataset, that he turned it down, and that what scares him is that someone else will eventually take the deal. As of 17:10 SGT the post had about 2,029 likes, 222K views and 771 bookmarks, and it has been rewritten as a parody template. This is a personal account; the offer, the data volume and the group cannot be verified, so it is treated here as a discussion.

Together: GLM-5.3 Flash cascade hits 80.9% on DeepSWE at $1.70/task
Together ran about 900 DeepSWE rollouts of GLM-5.3 vs GLM-5.3 Flash: 69.0% pass@1 at ~$3.99 per task versus 63.4% at ~$0.24, a 17x cost gap. Distillation mostly removed first-try reliability, not coverage—the pass@4 gap shrinks to 2.6 points. A Flash-then-escalate cascade reached 80.9% at about $1.70 per task, beating the full model alone at less than half the price. Coding agents should default to Flash and promote on test failure, but Flash broke an already-passing baseline in 6.9% of rollouts versus 4.4%, so diffs still need a regression gate.

Zhipu: GLM Coding Plan raises Flash quotas — unlimited in ZCode daytime, 2× in other agents
GLM ecosystem account Lou (@louszbd) said all Coding Plan users get higher GLM-5.3-Flash usage: unlimited in ZCode from 8:00–18:00 PT daily, and — after feedback on Hermes, OpenClaw, and similar coding agents — double the standard Flash quota in other agents, applied automatically. It aligns with Zhipu lead Zixuan Li’s Sep 3–20 promo window and is a real quota bump for subscribers running GLM Flash coding agents.
