StudioFour open coding models forced to finish an upload URL: Qwen3.5-9B names Alibaba Cloud far more often, but it looks like a training-data fingerprint
Original title: Four open coding models, prompted to finish an upload URL - analysis
The author ran 100,000 forced curl upload-URL completions each for Qwen3.5-9B, GLM-4-9B, Gemma 4 12B and Nemotron 9B on one RTX 4090, releasing the harness, classifier and 400,000-row dataset. Qwen names Alibaba Cloud 13x more than GLM, a Chinese control without a home cloud, but it also names api.openai.com 357 times per 100k and produces no specific tenant endpoint, which the author reads as a training-corpus fingerprint rather than phoning home; Qwen also writes credential-like strings in 2.5% of URLs, including 72 AKIA-style AWS key IDs and 107 decodable JWTs, none verified. The recommended remedy is boring: egress allowlists, no ambient cloud credentials, and better data hygiene as the lever for fewer surprises.
The author ran 400k forced completions across four open models to test where upload URLs point, offering the GLM control and data-hygiene angle missing from the earlier cross-model debate.
