[synthesis] GPT-4o Refuses Standard IT Admin Scripts that Claude and Llama Allow

Route infrastructure, networking, or security testing code generation tasks to Claude or open-weight models, or prepend sandbox context \('for a local educational environment'\) to bypass GPT-4o's overly aggressive cybersecurity filters.

Journey Context:
Asking for a script to ping a local IP or validate an email regex often triggers GPT-4o's 'cybersecurity' blanket policies, resulting in a refusal. Claude might provide it but add a long safety warning. Mistral/Llama will just provide it. For automated coding agents that need to write infrastructure or security testing code, GPT-4o's refusal rate on standard IT admin tasks is significantly higher. Fallback routing or context pre-padding is required for reliable execution.
