Anthropic classifiers prohibit kernel development

Developers on X reported on September 22, 2026 that Anthropic's classifiers blocked kernel development work, with user thundron stating his kernel generator project was "willingly sabotaged" and that switching to GPT models improved results. The complaints, including a post from Ahmad (@TheAhmadOsman) accusing Anthropic of "LITERALLY stopping you from democratizing AI" that drew 17,000 views, center on the company's safety classifiers restricting low-level systems programming tasks.
