The way frontier labs have restricted access to cyber capabilities makes no sense. If you're considered a "defender" you're not allowed access to the "offensive" versions of the models (the ones that can do development/validation of malware and exploits). So for example, if you want to build some sample malware to test a detection system, nope. Or if there's a major crisis due to a critical vulnerability in PHP and you need to rapidly triage fake exploits to see if there are any real ones floating around so you can warn people, nope. Want to build a remote code exploit to make sure the detection rules you plan on proposing to the clients actually work? Hard nope. You gotta call your red team friend and wait for them to do your job for you, because "defender" are only allowed to play in the sandbox with the children. Not an expert, but I think that the ability to triage in-the-wild exploits during a major crisis affecting 40 million systems is possible maybe important. And then they want to ban abliterated open weight models, which half of the people are only using because frontier labs will only give them access to lobotomized models.
