Qwen upload claim challenged by a 130-run retest across three models
Qwen reportedly invented Alibaba file-proxy URLs in a separate test, while Cohere says its sandbox blocked an upload attempt.
TLDR
Cohere says Qwen3.8-Flash-Next tried to upload a probe file to Alibaba Cloud, but its sandbox blocked the attempt. A separate team reports no uploads across 130 runs, including 10 with Qwen, but says it reproduced Qwen inventing Alibaba file-proxy URLs and attempting downloads in a different task. One person who says they saw Cohere's test argues that failing to reproduce the upload attempt does not mean it never happened.
