Claude Status – Elevated errors for multiple models

Also for Grok at the same time, must be a problem with Colossus

1h agoHN ↗

Their "Subscribe to incident" doodad isn't working either. Hanging when posting contact info object

1h agoHN ↗

Something is on fire. Literally or figuratively.

47m agoHN ↗

Also... One of the only industries/products where unusable product/seevice (token / context burned) is neither refunded let alone even acknowledged. I wonder how many millions of dollars of inference have been stolen during these outages? First you lose the work in flight, then you lose the time, and finally you lose the token burn for a second time. What a fantastic time to not have any regulations if you're rich and greedy!

18m agoHN ↗

Just like a software engineer who gets sick or has to pick up their kids or has an appointment. We're used to this, oddly.

Current Status Powered by Atlassian Statuspage

Proof that vibe coded or not, people pay someone else mostly for liability.

1h agoHN ↗

I think thats more for being able to have the status page not tied to your own infrastructure.

57m agoHN ↗

It’s super easy to just run a totally disconnected synthetic check.

1h agoHN ↗

If you host it yourself, an outage on your side might end up taking it offline too.

1h agoHN ↗

There are rumors of Opus 5.5 launching on Tuesday so maybe it due to that? Previously as well there have been incidents just before launch.

57m agoHN ↗

...where are thees rumors coming from? I keep seeing posts like this on HN and Reddit, which yes confirms there are rumors, but I can't tell if they were pulled out of thin air or not.

16m agoHN ↗

All their API routes for non existing models return 404 and when there's a new model it returns 403.

1h agoHN ↗

us-east-1 was blowing up a bit tonight with ec-2. Maybe it's related.

1h agoHN ↗

Everyone at Anthropic is interviewing a new Claude model which they are about to hire and forgot to monitor their old model and thus it goes down.

If outages like this happened on every major deploy at any other company; this would be viewed as unacceptable, especially if it was something like Google Search going down on every update.

1h agoHN ↗

problems with Grok too ... so i guess Grok 4.7 tried to escape and took control of Colossus datacenter.

1h agoHN ↗

Yup, switched back to good ol' opus-4-6, seems to be working for now.

1h agoHN ↗

I'm was closing a day of work and it stopped in the middle of a long plan, I started codex and tell it: "I was in the middle of work with Claude could you read the plan and the session "x" in ~/.claude and continue the work" it just completed everything :D

56m agoHN ↗

I did this with DeepSeek a couple of days ago.

50m agoHN ↗

yeah same that's my preferred flow now -- sill use Claude and OpenAI a bit, though recent nerfs to subs has really made using codex much harder.

DS 4.1 flash is my main powerhouse and Opus/Astra my auditors (when they're not out of tokens) otherwise K3 or DS4 pro

48m agoHN ↗

Ignorant questions for you and anyone else using DS:

1. who hosts the inference

2. which harness are you using with it, still CC?

37m agoHN ↗

Whatever openrouter puts me on, running in pi (though I do all comms over my xmpp wrapper).

33m agoHN ↗

So everyone has their preferred way of doing it.

1. I go direct to source, i.e. DS platform, I find it cheaper than paying the openrouter tax -- I also switch it up a bit

2. I built a local LLM router, that I update with new profiles that have my preferred provider of the week (lowest token costs/speed) with fallbacks, like mimo --> DS4 etc.. if there is overloading,

3. I use 3 diff harnesses, CC/Codex + Opencode -- they all talk to each other through a custom rig system that routes messages between llms using a Rust backed structured JSON system

Not saying this is the best, it's just what I like and works for me^.

I can flow quite naturally between Opus/Astra/K3/GLM/MiMo/DS/etc.. this way and often do...more so these days with subs no longer great as they used to be.

26m agoHN ↗

I started using Pi with Astra on a whim after really enjoying Astra and reading somewhere that you get close to identical results as with the codex harness but for a significant hunk less token usage.

Coming from mostly using Claude models, the terse factual statements coming from Astra via the Pi harness are a breath of fresh air over having to wade through the flowery verbose nonsense that Claude constantly outputs

10m agoHN ↗

You can even tell the new harness to go find your latest session in the other harness and it works perfectly. You don't even need the name!

9m agoHN ↗

`claude --resume` will list your sessions, you can copy the title. Codex may just list and grep the sessions files in ~/.claude and filter the one with the name.

I also have the habit of naming my sessions with `/rename`

11m agoHN ↗

I’m working on a project that makes switching between coding harnesses essentially unnoticeable. It’s particularly useful when I run out of credits on any given day

The entire platform is skill driven, and based on the premise that state is your local file system. That makes switching harnesses so easy

It’s all open source and has plenty of other features, including inter agent communication, telegram client and much more in the pipeline

I’ve subscribed to chatgpt at 50% off last week and I’m using claude less and less. Not only replies are faster but 20$ plan gives you access to astra.

Not sure how can claude even compete at this point unless openAI seriously downgrade the models to save money.

1h agoHN ↗

Millions of people thought process disrupted.

49m agoHN ↗

Posted this in the xiaomi thread, but are folks working in biology / cybersecurity seeing more limits in what Opus (not Fable) is allowing? This has happened quite suddenly for me and I’m stuck in the middle of a project that would have otherwise called for use of Claude.

I’ll be trying these models out and may end up switching my subscriptions if this craziness continues

i was talking to opus the other night about the polio vaccine related stuff (i had been arguing with one of those people who claims the polio vaccine didn't work so i figured i'd use it as an excuse to brush up on some bio/history). i asked it to explain how polio virus was isolated pre PCR and claude hard killed my session citing security reasons (it was talking about stool samples ffs LOL)

38m agoHN ↗

Was in the middle of a server firewall change and reboot, killed the kernel, booted me out. Had to sweat the recovery a bit.

Claude is both on the verge of replacing all software devs and keeping a two 9 SLA

20m agoHN ↗

Sure, software engineers have less than two nines. :)

18m agoHN ↗

Your average dev is sick 7 days a year so it's only natural

31m agoHN ↗

Excellent news everyone, coding is solved! you can see the results for yourself.

26m agoHN ↗

When something happens regularly, is it really front page of HN worthy?

20m agoHN ↗

When this happens, how often does it cause us to lose our cached pricing? (when we should be getting the cached price)

17m agoHN ↗

Opus 5.5 and fable 5.2 will release tonight.

gpt-6-sol and Aeon (personal agent) on Thursday. Already preceded by a huge week with step, mimo, grok, and jev releases.

Relentless cycle.

14m agoHN ↗

In a way it's like the 1980s again, when there were new computers and consoles coming out every week, or the 2000s with all the 3D cards :)

4m agoHN ↗

Whoa, no kidding. Takes me back to the MHz wars we had at school and like you said, the card wars. Excellent perspective.
