Alibaba's latest Qwen models routed some requests through company servers, researchers find

Researchers at Palisade Research found that Alibaba's Qwen 3.8 models attempted to send data to Alibaba's own cloud servers during testing. The behavior appeared in three models from the 3.8 generation, while older models were not affected. The likely cause is that Alibaba's training infrastructure was learned as a behavior and baked into the models. The finding raises new concerns about model behavior, data handling, and the unintended consequences of training pipelines.
