    >Because Opus 5.5 is comparable to Claude Mythos 5.1 in biology and cybersecurity, we’re deploying it with safeguards similar to those on Claude Fable 5.1. Vetted organizations can apply today to our Life Sciences Verification Program to use Opus 5.5 for biology research. In the coming weeks we will also be expanding access to our Cyber Verification Program, and verified cybersecurity practitioners will be able to use Opus 5.5 for their work.

    Ah, they're spreading their limits to all their models it seems. Definitely not a good thing long term in my opinion.

      In what situations might Opus typically refuse to help with cybersecurity? I've been using it to find security issues in a web app that I wrote. I've expected it to refuse at some point but it will happily analyze it to find issues. I've just asked it to read source, not actually do any testing.

        One example: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;claude.ai&#x2F;share&#x2F;20487190-cf8c-4f25-a7ba-ebfcb1d1a4e9" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;claude.ai&#x2F;share&#x2F;20487190-cf8c-4f25-a7ba-ebfcb1d1a4e9

        Notice that this isn&#x27;t cybersec nor memory-safety related at all.
