Yup, major outage on all platforms. https://status.claude.com/

wtf all days same shit

Code isn’t working on my app. Chats work fine.

Hoping to get another rest of limits.

Odd time for Claude to go down since it's not peak work hours.

rishabhaiover

This is insane. I have to move to Codex now.

But Boris declared coding is solved. How is this possible? Can’t they prompt Mythos to give them better uptime?

So Claude decided to take the rest of the day off without notice or giving a scheduled time off? Many such cases with humans (given that we continue to compare LLMs to humans these days which you cannot)

Between GitHub and Claude, it seems Eternal December[0][1] is upon us. [0]I say December, because that's around the time the models got good enough that non-AI folks started to notice. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September

how can someone run business on top of their APIs

They are about to lose the second 9 99.02 % uptime

So happy to have diversified my model providers this past couple of weeks. GPT-5.5 has had no trouble slotting into Opus workloads. Will be fun to try out more of the models as time goes on to build some resiliency into my engineering workflows :).

I personally broke it by admonishing it for fucking up its last revision to my project.

I'm feeling a bit sorry for Anthropic. This last month must be very tough on them.

Now... I have to cook dinner....

For what it’s worth, I moved to Codex GPT-5.5 Xhigh Fast in the desktop app and it’s been fantastic.

I've been on the $200 plan for 3 months, but this will be my last month. I got great use out of 4.5 for a while, but 4.6 felt like a half step back (conflated with all the random hidden config changes during it), and 4.7 is genuinely terrible. It's impossible to tell these days whether 4.7 is stuck because it's thinking and Anthropic suppressed all output (seriously, 4.7 will just start making changes without explaining any reasoning - how is that an upgrade?) or because the underlying infrastructure is having issues. 4.5 -> 4.7 feels like going from working with a coach-able, junior engineer that does well with clear guidance to working with a cocky mid-level that will spend too long on pointless tangents and make confidently incorrect changes without any discussion.

The models are already commoditized; if this affects you, you should probably fix your stack. Still, it's pretty crazy that Claude is down to 1 nine.

I don't really mind hopping between claude/codex/glm/kimi except I don't know a good way to resume as session across agent harnesses. Normally I'd just have it write out what it's doing to a file, if I need to transfer context, but if it goes down mid-session that's a no-go. I think people have built tools for this, and of course you could reasonably vibe one yourself, but I don't really trust something like that to work reliably or in an ongoing manner. Maybe it should just be a skill.

This is a tough moment. Claude is simultaneously becoming substantially more expensive, substantially less reliable (single 9 of reliability), and substantially less performant. It's really hard to justify the cost of a subscription over there right now.
