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.

If Dutch can cut 25k babu jobs why can’t India. I am pretty sure 80% of babu jobs in India are worthless.

If you are a software engineer prompting all day it might be a good time to realise nothing in this world comes for free and your current comfort is very fragile as anything that comes as being such low effort and high return is sooner or later generalised and its value levelled with the ground
It might also be a good time to do everything in your power to hone your human skills and start making connections, doing stuff outside being a “tech worker”, anything that is not strictly bound to software

i landed at delhi airport today and had one of the most terrifying experiences of my life with an uber driver. i'm still shaken.
i booked an uber to gurgaon for a 20-minute ride. the fare shown on my uber app was around ₹625. after the trip, the driver showed me a screenshot from rapido quoting ₹1,479 and demanded that i pay that amount instead. when i pointed out that this was a rapido screenshot and not an uber screenshot, he said, “iss route ka itna hi hota hai.”
i paid the ₹625 that was shown on my uber app. what followed was genuinely frightening.
he locked the car and refused to let me take my luggage out unless i paid ₹1,479. when i tried retrieving my belongings, he held my arm and shut the front-seat window where my luggage was, trying to stop me from taking it out.
i somehow managed to get my luggage and tried to enter my house. he followed me, forced the gate, abused me horribly and wouldn't let me go inside peacefully. i finally managed to get inside and lock the door. he then started climbing the gate while hurling abuses and threatening my life.
all of this happened around 4:45 am in gurgaon, when i'd just landed and was simply trying to get home safely.
and it gets worse. i'm trying to reach uber's safety support, and the safety support option isn't available to me. i'm dealing with a terrifying situation involving physical aggression and life threats, and i can't even get through to the platform's safety team.
this wasn't a fare dispute anymore. this was intimidation, physical aggression and a terrifying violation of my safety at my own doorstep.
@Uber_Support @Uber_India @UberIN_Support @Uber, i need an urgent human response, a proper investigation and concrete action. please preserve the trip and driver records and tell me how this is being addressed.
i've used cabs to get around in different countries and never imagined i'd feel this unsafe trying to get home in my own country. how am i supposed to trust a service that i booked specifically to get home safely?
