alt Hacker News> its impossible to do this fully with anthropic or openai
It is possible, but is way more involved. You need to get cyber verification for either of them, and it's a little easier to get with OpenAI. Afterwards you can do such work.

I'm aware but for many that might not be an option and its creepy. Say your research gets leaked or hacked. Now you are liable.
Better to opt for an open source model that can do most of the work but obviously its not going to be as good.
It might be possible to do it fully, but you sure will lose a lot of time hand holding Claude to make it believe it's not doing anything too nefarious.
I have valid cyber verification with Claude (they approved it super fast, in ~2 hours after applying)
It still blocks and stops pretty much all the time because of rail guards. Specially since the release of Opus 5. I do believe when Anthropic asks during the verification process "what will you use this for", that they somehow use that info during the chat to decide whether to block or not the request.
So you might be able to do one thing in cyber, but not another one. I seem to be able to research and reverse binaries with Claude, most of the time, and if I phrase my questions in certain ways. However, any kind of code developing that could be tangentially related to malware is blocked, for me.
I am seriously considering switching to GLM or another Chinese vendor, even after being cyber verified on Claude. The routine blocks I face on the tasks that I applied to the program (reverse engineering, exploit dev) are enough to make me think its better to move ship.
