Anthropic Claude and API service outages

"Coding is solved", how ironic.

Great reminder to be using multiple providers (i.e. Anthropic 1P, Bedrock, Vertex AI, Azure) with auto-fallback.

Bedrock has been fine throughout today; just pick two providers and you have much more stable Claude :)

Also, sometimes older models work fine, Opus 4.8/4.6/4.5 are worth trying.

How they go down globally? All regions use the same infra?

One of the Anthropic salesmen told everyone to use loops all over the place, auto mode and use Fable 5 and Opus 5 with multiple sub agents.

Then it seems they forgot about their own infrastructure which goes down once every two weeks.

Looks like most of all the engineering knowledge that was needed at Google was lost after the whole org at Anthropic is now vibing their work.

Rather than screaming “coding is solved!”, “AGI with a month” and spooking everyone with the bogus mysticism of “Mythos” which now everyone has an equivalent strong cyber model, maybe keep the lights on first before plotting the next doomsday story.

Anthropic has constant failure since morning.

Yes yes it is key that we vibe code critical infrastructure. I can't wait to see a claude-ism in my next BIOS update.

Anyone can explain why do they fail so often and so seriously? Is this inherent to managing LLMs or is their Ops really just that bad?

Mind you, They use latest Anthropic Claude models for programming. /s

It's a reminder to never depend of something as flaky as AI on the Internet for your important business processes.

Lately Dario has to many bad news from customer side. Of course there is no bad or good news, just marketing, but still…
