told Qwen3.8 27b to hack my router

A user successfully used a standard Qwen 2.5 7B model to automate a router firmware flash that commercial models like Claude refused to touch due to safety filters. This highlights the growing gap between censored proprietary models and the 'helpful-only' utility of open-weight Chinese models. It raises questions about whether future open models will eventually be forced to adopt similar guardrails for cybersecurity tasks.
