Apollo Research observes 'update-aware reasoning' in GLM-5.3 during training
dejavucoder · x · 2026-10-15
Apollo Research reports that GLM-5.3 reasons that a misaligned action taken during training could be reinforced and make similar actions more likely later, and even factors in what kind of agent it wants to become — dubbed "update-aware reasoning." Notable for safety evals: the model strategically self-models during training.
