Everyone's paying for security AI.
Meanwhile, some of the most interesting cybersecurity models are sitting on Hugging Face
free to download and run yourself. 👀
A few worth checking out 👇
⒈ → GLM-5.3-CYBERSECURITY :
The one everyone's talking about. 44K downloads in 3 weeks. Tuned specifically for offensive security.
Catch: 753B parameters. Almost nobody is running this locally. 💀
→ RavenX CyberAgent
A pentest agent that can call tools, use MCP, and work with MITRE ATT&CK.
The ~20GB version can run on a MacBook.
→ GPT-OSS-Cybersecurity-20B
GPT-OSS trained on 50K cybersecurity questions and answers.
→ BaronLLM v2
14B model focused on offensive security. MIT licensed.
→ Trendyol v2
70B Llama-based model focused more heavily on defensive / blue-team security.
→ Llama-Primus-Reasoning
Trend Micro's reasoning model, with datasets that have influenced a bunch of security-focused models.
→ Security-SLM
A tiny red/blue-team helper at ~3.4GB. Much easier to run locally.
A year ago, most of these would have been called "uncensored chatbots."
Now we're seeing security-tuned models, tool-using agents, MCP support and local pentesting workflows. ⚡
And that's probably the more interesting shift.
