    "Sonnet 5.5’s cyber capabilities are a large improvement over Sonnet 5’s, so we’re deploying it with safeguards similar to those on Opus 5.5. Users can still find and fix bugs in their code as part of routine software development, but higher-risk cybersecurity tasks will visibly fall back to Sonnet 5

    Sounds like at least for Anthropic models we reached peak cyber capabilities with Opus 4.8. Everything after that falls back to worse models

      what is the easyest way to use the chinese models and which harness does work with them well?
      1. Iolaum · · focus · HN ↗
        OpenCode harness with their subscription would be my recommendation.

          Between OpenCode and Openrouter which one would you suggest? Sometimes I have pure grunt work to be done on non-sensitive data for which I want to use Chinese models. For example, tasks like extracting something from publicly available large pdf files.

            Opencode Go, with the Deepseek 4.1 Flash model feels like a bottomless pit, which is great for grunt work.

              OK, I will try it out. Thanks
