When OpenAI and Claude refuse to reverse-engineer Sonos, this dev turns to Kimi
doodlestein · x · 2026-10-09
A developer complains that OpenAI and Anthropic models refuse to help reverse-engineer Sonos's software, citing protection circumvention. His workaround: open-weight Kimi (K3), which is far more willing to bypass DMCA-related restrictions. He argues this is exactly why open models matter — highlighting how differently labs and open models draw their safety guardrails.
