> I guess part of it is also that I don't mind doing 'hand-edits' like for example LLMs love to say "// so and so removed" I just go and remove that manually later rather than being like "don't comment about what you removed!11" cause you're really fighting deep grooves in the model's behavior at that point.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but that's just about the best example possible for using AGENTS/CLAUDE.md. Just add "don't comment about what you removed!11" and you never have to say it again...
...but you'll get constantly nagged about the `11` of course!
Agree, out of the two, I can get Codex to design and implement security systems (Fable just refuses to discuss). I've only used K3 a little bit, but I found that being able to discuss attack vectors and their mechanics gives me details to paste back into Codex for it to ingest. I could never have gotten there through Codex alone.
I applied for individuals. I did their verification steps and answered questions in a few minutes, so that was indeed easy. The problem is that was all that happened. No followup, no access, no denial. When I tried to reapply it tells me I can't apply again.
OpenAi (and Anthropic) have no incentive to allow security access to individuals. I'm not a deep-pocket org or influential gov agency. Allowing individuals increases the risk of bad press (what if I do something naughty and talk about it?) so best to ignore us.
I think security is an integral part of any production software, and if you get value from LLM's in software development, it seems likely they can be useful in security too.
My point and frustration is that gatekeeping in the name of Security makes the Chinese models actually better at security than USA models.
I don't think it's nefarious, but the end result leads to a pretty frustrating experience by anybody needing actual security work. (and without the organizational deep pockets to obtain SOC 2 attestation)
no, I didn't get access to sol until a few hours ago. I just have my claude protocol files linked to inside codex. trying Sol this morning for the first time, so I can't really comment on that vs gpt5.5.
However you can do what you are asking "fable--> sol" you need to setup a mcp or have fable run a bash tool, just invoke the `codex.exe` cli tool with whatever cmdline args are needed.
I sub both codex and claude at 20x. I like opus+fable more than gpt5.5 because it seems gpt tries to finish tasks by leaving any ambiguity unresolved. claude seems better at surfacing open questions.
This is using the same AGENTS.md prompts, which were designed firstly for Claude use, so maybe it's something that could be optimized better if I understood gpt as well?
I used to live in Thailand, and over the last 10 or so years it seems that the kind of DIY content you find on Youtube has had a positive effect. Before then it was difficult to find a building maintenance team that understood the purpose of a waste water P-Trap (unfortunately I'm not exaggerating)
