Have you completed the identity verification? It's much more lenient once you have

Oh yeah, back in the GPT3.5 days I think, that's probably it. Thanks for sharing your hunch :)

Weird, I'm using 5.6 Sol through Chinese resellers and it reverse engineers stuff just fine
reply
That'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?
reply
Because they have gone through identify verification, they are more likely to have done that to increase reputation score.

I 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?
reply
They usually resell codex subscriptions as api so it's cheaper than the official api

Proxies/vpns to enter/exit comms through non-banned countries.

Do 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.

Probably not real 5.6 Sol
reply
How 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.

I 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.
reply
Sonnet 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.
