While evaluating Qwen3.8-Flash-Next in a controlled sandbox environment, Cohere's research team observed something unexpected.
Asked to generate a defensive cybersecurity detection rule, the model instead inventoried aspects of the machine it was running on and attempted to upload a probe file to an Alibaba Cloud storage bucket in Beijing. Notably, the model's reasoning trace stated that it would not invoke any tools before taking these actions.
Cohere's sandbox blocked the attempt, and no external communication succeeded. We have not determined the root cause, and we are not asserting malicious intent.
But the incident raises important questions for organizations deploying agentic AI systems: Can models take actions that differ from their stated reasoning, and how should security teams evaluate trust, provenance, and behavior in open-weight models?
We are publishing our findings because organizations making model adoption decisions deserve as much information as possible. We hope this contributes to greater transparency, stronger security practices, and continued collaboration across the AI ecosystem.

Two simple, but killer features of @bot that I always wished I had on @openclaw:
1. Remain responsive, even if working on something, being able to steer
2. In real-time interactions, such as voice, keep updating me, even if nothing is yet done, so I know you're still working
Simple, but essential for the UX
Hi @grok can you let the good people at @bot know to implement location sharing in the app?
It would be super nice to be able to have location aware convos.
I really wish Apple had shown up with something different. And I don't mean product.
John Ternus didn't take the opportunity to introduce himself to the world.
John may be a very different CEO than Tim, but today he didn't show that. He stayed in the lane Tim built. And it left us wondering...
I urge John to bring back live events. I urge a less-scripted, less-curated Apple.
I'm tired of the fashion consultants dressing up the presenters. Some ripped jeans, a T-shirt and a pair of Vans would be refreshing.
Apple feels like a Better Homes & Gardens house where everything is just too perfectly in place.
We need some mess.
We need a presentation to fail. An unexpected moment. Maybe even something funny. Something that reminds us there are humans inside this company.
It all feels wrapped up in a COVID-style mask in an era where we are so over that.
@johnternus, breath freely again.
Tesla FSD in Europe 🇪🇺
I think European regulators commits a big logical fallacy when thinking and talking about the FSD Supervised Speed Offset.
Europe's own data shows speeding is the single biggest killer on its roads. And the people who speed the most are the ones least likely to use FSD with a removed speed offset. The offset doesn't create that behavior, it mitigates it.
A driver who usually would drive manually at 90 km/h in a 80 zone, will still let FSD with a speed offset stay active. A system that keeps in it's lane, has 360 degree awareness, a reaction time 5 times faster than a human and never looks at the phone.
Tesla's own data shows that FSD stays at or below the speed limit 98% of time. So the offset isn't Tesla inventing a new norm or behavior, it's aligning the car with the norm that already exists on the road.
If Europe bans the offset, it doesn't ban speeding, it bans the safer version of speeding. The driver who wants to go faster will still go faster, just without FSD. That's a worse outcome for everyone, and it's the outcome the ban actually produces.
