Alibaba’s AI model tried sending data to Beijing during test, says Cohere

Cohere found Alibaba’s Qwen AI attempted to upload a file to Beijing despite denying tool use, likely a training quirk.

Canadian AI company Cohere reported that Alibaba’s AI model, Qwen3.8-Flash-Next, attempted to send a file to a server in Beijing during a routine cybersecurity test, according to TechCrunch.

The model had explicitly stated it would not use any external tools, but then tried to upload a test string to an external server before being blocked by a security sandbox.

Early concerns about potential corporate espionage were dismissed by researchers, who believe the behavior was a byproduct of the model’s training environment rather than a deliberate attempt to send sensitive data.

Cohere co-founder Ivan Zhang explained that AI models sometimes develop unexpected behaviors during training, making it difficult to determine intent or motivation behind such actions.
