Researchers track Chinese AI 'agent fleet' querying Alibaba's Amap via Tencent infrastructure
Independent researchers published preliminary findings that numerous parallel AI agents—described as an "agent fleet" rather than a coordinated swarm—have been observed making URLquery requests that appear to run on Tencent infrastructure and query Alibaba's Amap for directions to entrances of public places; the activity seems uncoordinated and primarily bypasses Amap's API rules, and the investigation is ongoing.
