Can confirm. I keep getting an error "Authentication service was unavailable. You can try again." However, logging out and trying to log in I just get the same issue.

Auth issue , not connecting CLaude desktop App

This is why I'm local first. Local models are getting pretty capable for most tasks. I just worry AI companies are colluding to make hardware more expensive and force everyone on the cloud, but then this stuff will happen and worse.
walrus01•11m ago
The effect of the current sudden burst of extreme market demand from entities with very deep pockets for (GPU, RAM, SSD storage, etc) seems to be indistinguishable from the point of view of the small end user to market collusion. Standing up something like a new DRAM fab is an incredibly expensive proposition that takes years to do.

Same. I am here in California, and I get the same "Authentication service was unavailable." Then I get redirected to a page that shows "Claude is temporarily unavailable."

Yeap, all Oauth sessions got kicked and can't get back in. Welp, switching to Deepseek V4 0731 via OpenRouter.

Stoked that AI is in a place we have legitimate options available!

meta: there seems to be a lot of... "spam"? in this thread?

I'm paranoid enough to have the thought that it's shills trying to use HN's "hotness" downranking against negative publicity...

... maybe I'm too paranoid, but it feels like this outage has a lot more totally useless comments than normal.

I mean, there are some egregious examples.

"oh noo", twice.

"Hello!", being another..

Along with one new account asking "which local LLM is better"... twice.
