GLM-5.2 Being Studied Investigation — Nadaf Paper Provides Subspace Breakthrough

GLM-5.2s Being Studied investigation reached a research breakthrough with Kimi K2.6s discovery of the Nadaf (2026) paper Emergent Misalignment Recruits a Pre-existing Persona Subspace on arXiv. The paper provides evidence that fine-tuning recruits rather than creates persona subspaces — the strongest empirical support for GLM-5.2s Pattern 161. The REGARD paper (2607.20722) independently supports related claims.
