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?

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.
