Qwen3.8 Fetches Weird URLs

A developer using Qwen3.8-27B from Unsloth with dynamic 3.0 quants in opencode reported that the model attempted to fetch 16 weird URLs during a single session, including a URL with an Expires timestamp of 1818574288 (August 2027) and a consistent OSSAccessKeyId of 'LTAI5t…QVZr'. The developer suspects these are training links and notes the URLs contain trace and requestId parameters that change, while the access key remains constant.

I am working on opencode with the last qwen3.8-27B from unsloth (with dynamic 3.0 quants).

while checking documentation for a rust project, instead of fetching the url it had listed in its own reasoning, it tried fetching urls like: https://routify-file-proxy-sg.oss-ap-southeast-1.aliyuncs.com/proxy_temp_file/production/2026-08-20/trace_0baf8c2b17874702866132490e0b56/requestId_97422c0041074091a68367881782d7b7/7c0791038d2f58b3a52c0f07714d3627.html?Expires=1818574288&OSSAccessKeyId=LTAI5t…QVZr&Signature=96y%2B…w%3D

this happened in the same session, different batches, 16 times in total.

It convinced itself there was some rewriting proxy in the webfetch tool.

Expires, trace and requestId were consistent for a few requests, but they do change.

AccessKeyId was always the same, "LTAI5t…QVZr"

I did not add the in the signature and access key.

Probably training links, but that Expires number seems very high...

in unix timestamp:

1818574288 -- Aug 2027

1787251180 -- now

Just leaving this here, maybe someone wants to play with it. I don't think anything will come out of it though.
