We know Anthropic is dogfooding claude for all its worth, and clearly they are working with a widespread set of issues.
Is this going to be the new normal, or is it simply clear it's not working well based on past measurements?
While I'm perfectly capable of working without it, it feels like I'd be wasting my own time if I did any work.
My co-worker who's a sysadmin and has just been getting into building his own tools for 2 weeks, is now spamming the chat "Claude is down" - just like /newest
It's an odd thing that this site has notices because if you care, then you already know. And if you don't care, then you don't care.
Huge difference for any customer foolish enough to rely on it.
fwiw, you can get the same Claude models, for the same price, served up by Google in VertexAI
