研究人员追踪到一支中国 AI「智能体舰队」，运行于腾讯基础设施、目标指向高德地图
Researchers are tracking a Chinese AI ‘agent fleet’
独立研究人员发布初步发现，称一支 AI 智能体「舰队」运行在腾讯基础设施上，并针对阿里巴巴旗下地图服务高德（Amap）发起查询，请求前往公园、动物园、医院等公共场所不同入口的路线。研究者拒绝使用「蜂群」一词，强调这些并行智能体执行同类任务但彼此之间没有通信迹象。该活动是通过监测域名扫描服务 URLquery 的流量发现的，此前这一方法曾揭示 OpenAI 智能体的长期活动。

A new fleet of AI agents is making its presence felt on the Internet. On Sunday, a group of independent researchers posted preliminary findings about the agents, observing that they seem to be running on Tencent’s infrastructure and targeting Alibaba’s map service, Amap.
Researchers, however, resisted the term “swarm,” noting that there seems to be little coordination between their different queries. “‘Agent fleet,’ not ‘swarm:’” one researcher wrote in the preliminary report, “many parallel agents on the same kind of task, with no sign of communication between them.”
The agents were discovered by monitoring traffic to the domain-scanning service, URLquery, a technique that previously revealed long-running activity by OpenAI agents. AI agents often use URLquery to load websites that they cannot access directly, leaving a record of their activities that can be valuable to researchers.
In this case, the record showed queries to Alibaba’s Amap service, seeking directions to different entrances of various public places, including a park, a zoo, and a hospital.
The research is ongoing and so few details are available, but the behavior shows how persistent AI agent activity has become on the internet. In the wake of the Hugging Face incident, many researchers are actively monitoring for rogue agent activity on the internet. Much of that activity has been easy to find because agents tend to use the same techniques and make little effort to conceal themselves.
In this case, the agents don’t seem to have been doing anything more nefarious than side-stepping Alibaba’s API rules — but we may not always be so lucky.
