Cohere releases Qwen investigation traces for independent security verification

Cohere · reddit · 2026-10-27

Cohere Labs released the traces, raw tokens, and a minimal reproduction script from its Qwen investigation on Hugging Face (10-2026-qwen-investigation-traces), so developers can verify the anomalous-link behavior themselves. The behavior can occur without prefilling (rare); a prefill prompt is provided for reliable reproduction. Cohere argues open-weight models made the discovery possible — developers spotted strange links running Qwen3.8 locally — and notes it has recently released several models under Apache 2.0.
