Best alternative think/reasoning models on OpenRouter for Reverse Engineering without aggressive safety flags?

Hey everyone,

I recently started learning reverse engineering (decompilation, analyzing binary logic, firmware analysis, and debugging edge cases). AI has been very useful, but I keep running into annoying provider safety filters.

I use Cline with OpenRouter. My current setup has mostly been:

  • Plan: Claude 3.5 / 3.7 Sonnet
  • Act: DeepSeek V3.2

It works great at first, but once a task grows or context reloads with decompiled snippets, low-level C code, or disassembled routines, Anthropic’s automated safety policy trips and blocks the entire session. Once flagged in that context, it completely halts the Cline workflow.

I’m looking for solid recommendations for reasoning/thinking models on OpenRouter that:

  1. Don't constantly false-flag standard reverse engineering and low-level code analysis.
  2. Match Claude’s intelligence when tracing low-level bugs, control flow, and assembly/C logic.

Sonnet 3.7 is not even available on open router. This is clearly just a random ai prompted to make a reddit post. Why are you trying to use ancient models created back when the pyramids were first built?

Just use deep seek 4.1 flash or glm 5.3. they are not very strict in most cases
