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. Read the full report: cohere.com/blog/concerning-b…

Your agent can build your Cashu (@CashuBTC) wallet for you. 🥥 Egge (@Egge21M) walks us through Coco, the TypeScript wallet toolkit, Spilman channels for streaming micropayments, and how your agent can build wallets with one simple prompt.

I hate the huge and heavy Daikin A/C remote, so I let Codex to write a firmware to convert LilyGO's T-Display to the remote and open sourced it: github.com/conol-tony/daikin…
