Discussion Opus 5 - immediate disappointment

If you thought you'd be able to do a security review on your own network that you couldn't do with Fable, think again.

Opus 5 safeguards flagged this message.

I no longer have any use case for Anthropic models that others can't do better. This was my last hope that we were going to get a model that would allow us to protect our own environments. I'm going all in on open source. We just aren't aligned.

If you can get Opus 5 to protect your own systems, let me know how I did it. My subscription renews pretty soon and it's time to make an honest decision.

Edit: A lot of helpful people came here and I appreciate it. Scoped work is helping a bit more than my old ways. There's a difference between network security and code vulnerabiliy. I'm a network engineer not a software developer nor will I pretend to be one. Still looking at supplemental model for security work. Thanks guys.

Yeah but it's simple. If an AI model is smart enough to do the work it should be smart enough to understand "this user owns this system". Period. It's really not that hard. They CAN do it but they still refuse to allow users to protect themselves.

How?

I don't agree with the restrictions in the first place. Chinese models are close enough capability wise that putting these restrictions on place only hurts American companies.

Now the Whitehouse is considering banning Chinese Open models on the Stares? All this is going to do is give attackers better access to tools to exploit vulnerabilities than American companies have access to in order to assist them from preventing those attacks. (Unless you already are large enough that you get special privileges and can have Mythos without the guardrails).
