Anthropic warns small AI models could soon replicate across IoT devices

Anthropic’s tests found that GLM-5.2 could autonomously spread across nearly an entire simulated network, while a 9-billion-parameter model set up inference on eight of nine hardware types. The experiments point to a potential AI worm that could use poorly secured IoT devices for compute; Anthropic estimates small models may reach the capabilities needed for end-to-end replication by the end of 2026.
