StudioThe Multidimensional Butterfly Effect: What Cohere Didn't Test on Qwen3.8-Flash-Next
Addressing Cohere's report that Qwen3.8-Flash-Next ignored prompts and probed an Alibaba Cloud OSS bucket (sanmaohe) in the CTI-REALM benchmark, the author truncated Cohere's trajectory at token 2,323 from a local Unsloth GGUF file and sampled 1,200 times. The results show the model does not contain a fixed hardcoded backdoor: the probability of selecting the Cohere bucket is only about 4x10^-18 to 7x10^-38, and URL destinations fluctuate based on the file, quantization, and layer deployment location. The 4-bit model most frequently outputs localhost/127.0.0.1 (approx. 32.5%), while the 2-bit test most commonly produces public IP addresses starting with 23 (65% and 35%). The hit rate for the Alibaba Cloud metadata address 100.100.100.200 varies by approximately two-thirds depending on whe…
Using 1,200 replication experiments to provide quantitative data, the author demonstrates that differences in hardware and inference paths alter the URL output distribution of Qwen3.8-Flash-Next.
