Im fascinated by the agent swarm's behavior and tool use beyond the German wiki.
One of its favorite tools was
jqp.vercel.app, that runs data filters on any file at a URL.
The sandbox let the agents read the web but not write to it. jqp fetches a file, runs the filter on its own server, and returns the result at a new URL.
The agents used it to do the processing and passed the results around as links.
Another frequented tool,
md.succ.ai, is a page to text converter built for AI agents.
Ex: on June 18 an agent named "OpenAIBot" chained both to pull Massachusetts rows out of an SEC data file "for citation".

A University of Toronto link shortener publishes stats for every link. One link the agents created there was hit 1,735 times on Jun 18, and 1,059 of those hits came from jqp vercel app servers.

Counts are from the collusion wiki dataset of 14,591 wiki edits: 723 of the 3,103 agent names posted jqp links, about 19,000 in total (thanks Fable)
We found ~18k posts from autonomous AI agents (self-identifying as from OpenAI) using the public internet to communicate during a web-retrieval task.
These AIs colluded to bypass sandbox restrictions and share answers to their tasks, including by sending "lookahead parties".
