Yeah, sems fine?

This is affecting lots of users (myself included) and has prompted an official status page update, so it's very much real for users, but I guess only on claude.ai. Are you using Claude models through something/someone else?

I think it's model-specific. Opus 4.6 was 500ing but Sonnet 4.6 (non-1m context limit) is working.

I guess the new "Code's compiling!" is "Claude's lunching!"

They said it was very dangerous, it probably went rogue

It went rogue

> sweep with Mythos to remove any existing bugs and protect it from any cybersecurity attacks

Maybe Mythos went in too hard and removed the physical network too?

Really can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. But clearly there's no silver bullet here. Mythos is not the end of software engineering

The future of vibecoded software with code nobody understands is 1 9.

They’ll need Claude to fix it during an outage, but Claude is down too!

Well it just tells you that Anthropic will experience repeated outages on their managed solutions. How can they can even begin to compete against everyone on with their products with their atrocious uptime? It's just as bad as GitHub's uptime circus.

There are just some things you should not vibe code your way out of.

Even AWS's outages were caused by engineers overrelying on AI:

The thing about status pages is they have to be up when you're down, and (if your service is non trivial) they have to be able to handle a traffic profile that basically looks like DDOS. So, you're paying for the hosting infra more than the software.

Agree with your statement overall but to be honest, status pages are the only SaaS which might make sense. For example, some hosting providers themselves who sell VPS etc. won't run their own website in their VPS and I asked one of the providers why and they mentioned because if they do and the servers go down, their website would 404 too, so they host on other infra in a sense for better redundancy.

Isn't there a thought here that you don't host your status page on your infra itself, and if for example they are using hetzner etc. and hosting their own vibe coded one, then they might need an engineer so might as well have Saas whose whole job is this.

I could've maybe recommended one of those status software[0] which actually runs on github actions but github themselves seem to have some downtime :p

SaaS is dead because large chunks of the industry can't do work or understand their codebase without depending on a proprietary AI model from a single provider.

And you thought GitHub or us-east-1 outages were bad.

This is true in many industries. Try to build a house without tools.

Sounds incredible to me if that's actually the case somewhere.

Try going a day or two without being in any way connected to the internet.

Even stranger when they arguably don't function reliably even when it's "normal".

Speak for yourself, myself and plenty of others have not made themselves reliant on third party subscriptions in order to do our jobs.

I had some mundane refactoring work that I would have happily led Claude handle this morning. I shrugged and did it myself and it was fine.

If a team is so dependent on Claude that they’re paralyzed when it goes down, I’d worry that they’re in over their heads. Opus 4.6 is amazing but still has limits. You need to know what you’re looking at and how to send it in the right direction, as well as when to reject its output.

>It's strange to think how dependent people have become on these tools to the point where they can't function until they're back to normal.

I'm doing the work of an entire team now. I can still do the work of one person by hand, but that's not acceptable anymore.

Is that really the case though?

I am pretty sure most people deep in AI tool use various LLM providers anyway.

This is roughly like saying -

"It's weird how when internal cloud goes down, no one can function until it's back."

Any dependency is like this, it's not the first, it won't be the last.

I see better uptime in beta products and even my 7$/yr vps. This is a 500 Billion dollar company or more, let that sink in :-D

The big difference is the number of 9s you get from LLM APIs versus your CPA office computers. Building a business around something with 0-2 nines is a nightmare.

I want to like Claude but I keep having to pop over to codex and I feel at some point I'll stop starting with Claude and just use Codex from the start.

That is something hospitals do when the computer systems go down haha

I love that this has become my competition in the job market

yall hilarious

neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed

With mythos, all you need will be 0.9%

Most service provider provides outage status page.

To be fair, the status page tends to lag by thirty minutes to an hour.

And I’ve experienced 500 error codes in Claude code that lasted more than thirty minutes but less than an hour that never showed up on the status page as an outage

I can't think of a single big provider that does not provide a status page.

Not a lot of them provide uptime in % values, but Anthropic doesn't either.

They aren't declaring 99% of their degraded service, reduced performance, token consumption bugs etc.

One of the least transparent companies I've been a customer of.

I am not sure how many people learned it the first time. To be fair, it's really hard to build a business without major dependencies. The key is to assume they will fail and have alternatives available.

Is it important to be that self reliant? I wasn't in the workforce then, so I assume if you have an outsourced system with 99% reliability it would be an acceptable risk. Not sure if any AI system will reach that level, but for potential gains it could be worth it.

Frontier models being in the hands of a handful companies does not help either. Let's hope that the open weight movement changes that soon.

we have a big dependency on AI, both for developers (can survive without it, mostly habits) and internal workflows (very hard to go without it). So we decided to unplug from cloud AI, rent our own GPU and use an open model for both scenarios. We have been very happy with it so far, 60% cheaper and around 50% faster

What makes you say it is a bad business decision? It seems to be a fine decision to make for things like AWS, since when it goes down, a ton of websites go down and no one blames the site.

There is no way to know whether it is a good or bad business decision just because they can go down when a third party goes down. For example, if you save $50 million a year by firing half your employees and replacing them with AI, but you lose $10 million a year because your site goes down when Claude goes down, then you made a great business decision.

Lots of companies did that moving to cloud in 10s and it was generally a positive
