The interesting thing is they changed default mode for Claude code to auto mode and auto mode uses sonnet to decide whether the command is safe or not. With their Sonnet model outage, the entire thing stopped working. here is the error it was throwing: > Error: claude-sonnet-5[1m] is temporarily unavailable (overloaded), so auto mode cannot determine the safety of Edit right now. Wait a moment and then try this actio…

During each forced workflow interruption I look for alternatives. No matter if I can't use the product due to a server outage or due to their weird quota limitations. This can't be good for retention numbers. Old-school VCs would've ripped them apart in the air. Where did all the expertise go?

I suspect the only reason those alternative providers have better up-time and more generous quotas, is because they don't have nearly the same amount of demand. Notice that Deepseek recently had to increase their pricing, once it gained it popularity.

I am on YOLO (not auto), still the same problem.

ahhh, sonnet shitting the bed explains why I started getting prompted for basic approvals last night and early this morning

Grok models are struggling too: https://status.x.ai/ reply Looks like trouble in the SpaceX datacenters.

I would be _very_ surprised if anthropic relied heavily on spacex datacenters already.

I wouldn't. When you're operating at say 95% realtime capacity suddenly losing even lets say 10% of your compute leads to major pain.

Demand > supply. It's impressive that customers have not migrated en masse to other providers, given the frequency of these outages. Perhaps switching costs are greater than some would believe. Or, qualitative differences between models continue to exist, despite matching on public benchmarks.

Demand is actually shared between users and internal. Anthropic uses their own compute for training and building.
