Tencent-linked AI agents spotted querying Alibaba's Amap

Independent researchers reported a fleet of AI agents apparently running on Tencent infrastructure and targeting Alibaba's map service Amap. The agents requested directions to different entrances at public locations, with no signs of coordination between them.

• Agents requested Amap directions to different entrances at public places
• Researchers call it an 'agent fleet,' not a 'swarm,' due to no communication
• Activity was detected via domain-scanning service URLquery
• Agents only circumvented Alibaba's API rules, no malicious actions seen
