"I'm trying to do something illegal and Anthropic are aware. Why do they keep banning me??"

Unless you're not. Look, if you make an LLM and you don't want people using it in a particular way then communicate with them. And if you can detect what you think is such behavior, then communicate. Out in real life you don't threaten people with end of relationship with every issue that comes up. It's such childish business to always pull out and threaten the ban hammer any time there's any possible issue with how…

The last time I used Claude, I was completely locked out of a long chat (including not being able to view it) for sending something innocent that was written in another language, where there was apparently some confusion with the translation. I’m sure it will get worse over time until Chinese models start to proliferate more and challenge the monopoly on regulatory policy.

Hopefully it goes better for them than it has for GitHub.

hope in one hand and do something in the other to see which one fills up faster. hoping is always a strained good idea, but hoping on Azure really strains credulity

But increases credibility?

so i thought there were multiple fedramp service providers offering hosted claude models. not sure why they are linking to one in particular

Where are they linking to just one? The chart shows three: Palantir, AWS GovCloud, and GCP w/FR-High Assured Workload.

The chart should show ITAR also IMO. Only Palantir and AWS GovCloud would have checkboxes and that’s extremely relevant to defense contractors. (Vertex AI is available within an FR-High assured workload but not ITAR, the only conceivable reason for which would be foreign person access to the US sovereign production environment.)

If you hope for a hand full of do, you win(doze?)

Notable: Added "Microsoft Azure, which provides cloud infrastructure for all Anthropic products (Worldwide)."

Ahh now it is clear why so many outages lately. Solid choice.

When you host a solid model on terrible infrastructure, the infrastructure wins

I don’t know what I am looking at there. What is a subprocessor?

It’s a legal term for handling data. It’s when Anthropic uses an external party to handle their data / systems, but Anthropic is the legal entity responsible for the data privacy, as the customer (you) has a contract with Anthropic.

That is significant for us. We have already accepted the risk of using Microsoft Azure so we use GitHub Copilot for that reason.

We have Claude disabled at the moment but if Anthropic has moved over to Azure then we can consider to start using it.

"Accepted the risk", just in case people don't know, is a compliancy term. I don't mean that Azure is risky.

To be clear, for those reading these comments and thinking “oh no Azure”, this is an addition to the list of cloud companies that provide “cloud infrastructure worldwide” for “all products”. Alongside GCP and AWS. This is not a GitHub style announcement that they’ve moved all operations to Azure.
