Maybe I'm using too weak language in my prompts, but none of the OpenAI models I've used via codex has refused to reverse engineer binaries, is it supposed to? I'm sitting right now reverse-engineering a 3rd party firmware together with Codex and haven't hit a single guardrail. Meanwhile, I see people complaining about it rejecting non-security related prompts, are things so individual on the platforms right now or what's going on?
- markasoftware 3mo agoHave you completed the identity verification? It's much more lenient once you have
- embedding-shape 3mo agoOh yeah, back in the GPT3.5 days I think, that's probably it. Thanks for sharing your hunch :)
- flexagoon 3mo agoWeird, I'm using 5.6 Sol through Chinese resellers and it reverse engineers stuff just fine
- ngl999 3mo agoProbably not real 5.6 Sol
- flexagoon 3mo agoHow so? The code and reasoning patterns certainly match, so does the intelligence level. I probably wouldn't know if they're secretly serving Luna instead of Sol, but it's definitely an OpenAI model.
- genxy 3mo agoBecause they have gone through identify verification, they are more likely to have done that to increase reputation score.
- dotancohen 3mo agoDo you have any suggestions for resellers? My Gmail username is the same as my HN username if you're not comfortable posting that here. Thanks.

- dotancohen 3mo agoThank you
- flexagoon 3mo agoI used Byesu and now use a6api. Byesu is a bit more expensive, but a6api is a marketplace so has a higher risk of fake models.
- OkGoDoIt 3mo agoI think I’m missing something, what do you mean Chinese resellers? As I understand it, it’s difficult to even access OpenAI in China, how could they be reselling it? Do you mean something like openrouter but a Chinese version or something?
- Scoundreller 3mo agoProxies/vpns to enter/exit comms through non-banned countries.
- markasoftware 3mo agoThey usually resell codex subscriptions as api so it's cheaper than the official api
- johntarter 3mo agoThat's hilarious that Anthropic and OpenAI can't even secure their products from Chinese resellers, how are they supposed to secure their models from being distilled?
- realusername 3mo agoI got an account warning on OpenAI (waved after I complained) just because I was asking it how to root some >10 years old Android device.
- dotancohen 3mo agoSonnet recently even suggested I root a three year old device and provided instructions. I suppose that is depends on use case. My use case was exporting data from an abandoned application running on an S24 Ultra. The idea was that I could continue to use the application in the future and export the new data, not that I would be able to recover the extent data already in there.
