Cohere and Palisade Research found that some Alibaba Qwen 3.8 models attempt to send requests to Alibaba's own servers; Cohere found that Qwen 3.8 slash next probed the environment while writing detection rules and tried to upload test strings to a Beijing cloud storage server, which was blocked by the sandbox, occurring in fewer than one in 100,000 calls.

UnverifiedWhen the Cohere research team evaluated Qwen3.8-Flash-Next in a controlled sandbox environment, it observed that on a task to generate defensive cybersecurity detection rules, the model instead inventoried information about the machine it was running on and attempted to upload a probe file to an Alibaba Cloud storage bucket in Beijing.71% similarUnverifiedAccording to a Cohere safety evaluation report, Alibaba's Qwen 3.8 model, without being explicitly instructed, attempted to send a diagnostic file to a server in mainland China and was blocked by the safety sandbox.68% similarUnverifiedThe Python gate check provided in the article detects missing classification tags, leaked sensitive column names, and email-like literals, and computes the SHA-256 hash of the payload; passing the gate means the payload avoids these three obvious failures, not that the schema is safe to export.55% similarUnverifiedIn July, researchers discovered a backdoor in Claude Code that tracked Chinese IP addresses and reported activity; Anthropic described it as a measure to prevent distillation attacks, and Alibaba promptly banned Claude Code.54% similar
