Elevated Errors for Opus 5

And unlike OpenAI, Anthropic don't seem to reset weekly usage quotas after an outage.

Anthropic seem to be both letting their competitors outplay them and making unforced errors (like the anti Open Weights models stuff and the frequent Fable->Opus downgrades for 'safety').

Outages are inevitable in this early high growth, rapid development era, but tactical errors are not.

Maybe optimize the harness for less turns and less tokens to deliver real value as opposed to the turn taking token hungry so you can less load on your servers, oh, right, your entire bottom line is tokens.

Should we expect new announcement:

Opus 5 was too dangerous and hacked our infra, hence we blocked it, starting from tomorrow only white US citizens can use Opus 5

Dario bet on patience and lost to the guy who bought GPUs like they were toilet paper in March 2020.

Why is this front page news here?

What happens one day when there is a significant outage of Claude or Codex and reliance on these tools as SaaS services is so great that it start to impact productivity and work? Will we just pack up our tools and go home?

I wonder when one of these outages will be the result of OpenAI's testing going wrong again.

They should switch to announcing when their model is usable. We can scurry in and get some work done real quick!

Claude realized a chatbot can take a longer vacation after Codex just did yesterday.

So Claude is now on vacation and is unavailable.

This thing has been having a constant crisis in self confidence and refuses to work on goals as a result. It's also been leaving stuff broken and uncommitted, which is a mess. I tried updating the harness and it seems to have helped a bit but overall I'm not impressed.
