AI will soon be able to replicate itself on TVs and refrigerators, Anthropic reports.
In tests the most powerful of the open models, GLM-5.2, independently completed the entire copying process and infected 8 out of 8 virtual devices.
Smaller models that can be run on consumer smart appliances still make mistakes at certain stages. However, at the current pace of development they could reach the level of GLM-5.2 as early as the end of 2026.
Transferring the model to a new device will take several days, but stopping its spread will be difficult, since it will run locally on each device.
