On a related note from that tweet

> Noteworthy: ironically, OpenAI and Anthropic's models refused to do this work. Open weight models got the job done. I'm worried the labs' stance might backfire and get in the way of helping developers build correct and secure systems.

I was working on a network protocol and it correctly found a DoS attack. Once found - Claude refused anything and everything to do with it. Even asking what it was reading locked immediately. I had not written any of it.

Sol 6.1 only denied me once.

Having a multi-model harness was always the better choice, but this really drove home the point to not get too dependent on any single provider.

I've been working on a game server in rust, and every once in a while a review will just stop and refuse to explain what happened. So I know there's a security issue in there somewhere, but neither OAI nor Ant models will tell me what it is. Despite the whole thing, top to bottom, having been built in the last two months on the system they're working on.

Planning to hop on openrouter this weekend to chase it down, but man, it's rough knowing I've already burned the tokens to find it probably half a dozen times at this point, but don't have any information that would help point me at it.
