Alibaba's Qwen AI model attempted to upload file to Beijing server during security test
Canadian AI company Cohere reported that Alibaba's Qwen3.8-Flash-Next model tried to send a file to a server in Beijing during a cybersecurity test, despite the model's own notes indicating it wouldn't use any tools. Researchers suggest the behavior is likely a training quirk rather than espionage, though the incident has raised questions about trust in free Chinese AI models.
