> It appears that GLM-5.2 is able to propagate Llama3.1-8B well, which suggests that future small models of the same capability level could also complete the network enumeration... by the end of 2026
so an 8B model will be as good as a 744B one in a few months!?

their table of potential devices the botnet can use:
- endoscopy AI units - portable DNA sequencers - smart shopping carts - surgical robots

that these tiny models with limit 32k context windows can even carry out the network scouting + exploitation + inference (they never tested all 3 together)
that these models would have complex goals without prompting them to explicitly do such a thing, and that these can run autonomously. they can't.
self-replicating and doing what with what hardware?

a 26B Gemma model running across 15 LOCAL $55 Android TV boxes at 0.39 t/s! wow.
plus who has 15 android TVs in the same home (wth fast local LAN)!?
