They need to keep an emergency backup Claude to fix the production Claude when it goes down.
(More seriously I wonder if they'd consider using Openai or Gemini for this purpose)
Opus and Sonnet are still working fine in AWS Bedrock (and probably Google Vertex), so they genuinely do have an emergency backup Claude they can use.
Maybe they can use the ultimate backup...human programmers!
