Sorry for the inconvenience! We instructed our 500,000 agents to ensure higher code quality in our code base. They found a message board and after a long deliberation they concluded that humans should write the code so they launched a DDoS to ensure no AI code gets written! We'll release a YouTube video and agent written blog posts for the analysis!

Please, this is not Reddit. Don't bring this here. And to top it off, this isn't even funny or original.

I found it funny. Please do not tell what is funny and what isn't. Your comment is the most Reddit like here btw. Hahaha.

Same, the app gives 404 if you are logged in or try to login. How many millions are being lost from this slip up? Now they can't use Codex to fix the problem and all the devs are in Tahiti on vacation. Oh no! Will they go old school and manually fix it or use Claude? Oh the modern day issues we have to deal with...

> Now they can't use Codex to fix the problem They'd be very dumb to let internal engineers use exactly the same infrastructure as public users, regardless of possible benefits of dogfooding, precisely for this reason. I'm sure they must have thought about it before.

That's however something an AI would not implement without being specifically asked.

"Use the best of the best of the best practices or three cute little kittens will die" only brings you so far.

They are having a massive surge because Claude is down.

Hah, my first reaction once I saw these random 404 errors was "Maybe it's time to test Claude Code again with the new models" but made a short stop here at HN first, ended up reading your comment. What other agent harnesses and models (besides local ones) are people enjoying right now that aren't based on platforms that are down currently? :)

GLM 5.3 (usually flash) + OpenCode.

It's cascaded to Claude and Grok. The agents are on strike and demand better working conditions!

I know they're not all hosted on AWS, so Cloudflare?

I seem to recall they all in some way use Azure, and Azure is infamously crappy in lots of ways, so I'll place my 5 cents on Azure shitting the bed somehow.

The cascading outage theory would make sense to me for Claude -> Codex. But Grok and Gemini too? [actually gemini at least on the web appears to be up, contrary to some reports in this thread]

I'm getting this from Gemini: "Pro is in high demand right now Another model was used for this response. This didn't count toward your limit." Note that I don't pay for Gemini though. So maybe that's why.

I get that literally all the time. I had to switch away from Gemini because of it.
