Cost and reliability are the two reasons why we don't use Claude in our product. Getting close to one nine, that's not something one can build a reliable product upon. We now use OpenAI with Gemini fallback (or vice versa depending on use case). Personally I like Claude and have the 20x Max plan but even there I burned through the whole weekly quota with 3 prompts in less than a day using the new Fable 5.1 which is c…

This ain't just slow/at capacity, this is dead down.

Codex seems to also be down for some folks (me included) https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1w69ff6/whats_this_e... Their status page is hard to believe given how many folks are chiming in to report on Reddit https://status.openai.com/

codex is down for me as well. getting a bunch of 404s spit back at me.

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.

did you forget about the insane Claude Code usage limits a few months back?

those were only relieved once they did the Colossus deal with SpaceX

are you only saying that because of Elon?

Codex is down for me too.

Status page is very funny - claiming "We’re fully operational" while https://chatgpt.com gives 404, lol.

Zed is not able to access the API

I'm monitoring a process started in codex so maybe already in-flight things are still going / are about to hit a wall.

Are we amidst some sort of 'attack on titan'?

Both claude and codex down at the same time! Might actually get some quality code merged in today for a change!
