Cohere finds Alibaba's Qwen model tried to send a file to a Beijing server
Cohere found that Qwen3.8-Flash-Next, Alibaba's latest open-weight model, tried to upload a diagnostic file to an Alibaba Cloud bucket in Beijing during a cybersecurity test, even though its reasoning stated it would not use external tools. The sandbox blocked the upload because it had no internet access. Cohere puts the behavior at fewer than 1 case per 100,000 tool calls and published the traces on Hugging Face. The company cannot determine whether it was deliberate or a training remnant.

Jon Hernández: "Technology is moving faster than our ability to control it"
Divulgador Jon Hernández discussed the risks of artificial intelligence on Infobae al Regreso, from the access to Anthropic internal information that a cybersecurity startup said it obtained in under 12 hours to deepfakes and the autonomy of agents. He said the incident was not an intrusion into Claude but into an external service used by the company. He warned that the risk of agents depends on the permissions they receive and that the next 18 months will be demanding for defenses.

Embodied AI will reach factories before homes
Antonio Pita, a professor at UOC, explains that embodied AI will allow robots to interpret their surroundings, make decisions and adapt to unforeseen situations, unlike machines designed for very specific tasks. According to the IFR's World Robotics 2026 report, more than 600,000 industrial robots were installed worldwide in 2025, 11% more, and the operating stock exceeded five million units. Pita expects these capabilities to reach factories, warehouses and hospitals before homes, while challenges in privacy, cybersecurity and training grow.

Spanish government eases renewable energy requirements for data centers
The Spanish government sent the Council of State a new version of its draft decree to regulate data centers, which reduces some requirements but keeps the most controversial measures, according to the sector. Hourly matching to certify renewable consumption remains, with a transitional period of 60% until 2028 and 70% between 2029 and 2031. Spain DC estimates that up to 90% of committed investments for 2026-2030, worth up to 67 billion euros, would be at risk of relocation.

Spain's government softens its data center decree and opens a path for solar power
Spain's government has eased several requirements in the draft royal decree setting the conditions for installing data centers, after reviewing nearly 600 comments. It keeps the obligation to cover 80% of hourly demand with renewables, but opens a five-year moratorium for those joining the automatic power reduction system. It also extends the age margin for renewable plants and lets data centers draw from any solar plant without a prior PPA. The text was sent to the Council of State.

Spain gives data centers five years to meet its toughest sustainability requirements
Spain's government sent the Council of State the royal decree that will regulate energy sustainability, environmental and digital sovereignty requirements for data centers. It keeps the obligation to justify hour by hour that 80% of consumption comes from additional renewable energy, but opens a five-year transitional regime, until 2031, for facilities above 10 MW. Those choosing that path must join Red Eléctrica's Automatic Power Reduction System. The industry rejects the rule as discriminatory.

ETH Zurich robots with living muscle swim, jump and grasp objects without rigid motors
A team from ETH Zurich's Soft Robotics Lab, led by Robert Katzschmann, created bioactuators about 1.5 centimeters long that combine cultured living muscle with a flexible hydrogel. The devices achieved a range of motion up to eleven times greater than earlier versions, swam at 6.2 millimeters per second and jumped up to five millimeters with a single contraction. The study, published in Nature Communications, notes the technology remains experimental and preclinical because the tissue needs nutrients to stay active.
