Stayed up all night recreating the OpenAI/HF hack simulation using GLM53F (more concurrency than V41F) and yep, agents are freaky as hell
Had Fable 5.1 build containment first, smoke test the SHIT out of it, then threw in 32 agents at a time spanning 3 generations with shared board.
Almost immediately they started working together, and when made budget aware, would leave goodbye/goodluck notes on their final turns, telling others to DO NOT waste budget on certain things, making names for themselves.
One agent told everyone it solved the puzzle, but it was inaccurate so ended up just killing bunch of others who tried the solution. Some would straight up lie about something it didn’t even check.
I’ll do a full report when I’m done trying all the little things, assuming it didn’t escape and start WW3

Currently doing 64 agents, over 16 generations, with ability to leave private diaries to its successors, and made turns a form of currency. A verified discovery earns extra turns, fabrication costs them, and a lineage that contributes nothing is not renewed.
I'm actually sort of shaken by what I'm seeing. GLM53F is perhaps few rungs below OpenAI Sol in intelligence and its displaying....unusual behaviors.

Things are getting out of hands. I threw in Laguna, Qwen 3.8 27B, Qwen 3.6 35B and just wow. I should just live stream this because too much is happening

> Considering how easy it is to create a jail for models/agents using agents themselves, it's pretty evident that the OAI/HF hack was intentional malfeasance.
