    Small AI models could soon self-replicate on consumer connected devices, according to Anthropic's Frontier Red Team.

    • A 9B model ran inference on 8 of the 9 types of hardware tested.

    • Gemma4-26B-A4B runs on 15 Android TV boxes at about 55 dollars, at 0.39 token per second.

    • In a network of 8 GCP nodes, GLM-5.2 is the only open-weight model tested capable of full replication.

    • Models of 30B parameters and less still make mistakes when chaining the steps end to end.
