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? :)
OpenCode Desktop + Muse Spark 1.3 Free is actually surprisingly good.

Actually kind of curious challenge; what's the shortest prompt you can use, which would produce the shortest possible fizzbuzz? Edit: counting including the entire assistant reply, any text + code
My attempt: > Prompt: mkfzbuzgolf > LLM Used: Default ChatGPT free LLM > Output: for i in range(1,101):print("Fizz"*(i%3 So, 11 prompt characters and 62 output. ——- Did a few more tries and I can get the 4-character string “glfz” (2 tokens) to work surprisingly consistently. But only on ChatGPT

#343It's cascaded to Claude and Grok. The agents are on strike and demand better working conditions!

I was thinking the same question. There has to be a common infra shared by those companies that failed and caused this??
maybe theres a library containing malware they're all using and that malware is exploiting them all at the same time. just a guess...

#3462026-09-03: It turns out 40% of global AI token use was coming from a dozen runaway Gastown and Wheelhouse instances, now burning a combined 50 trillion tokens daily, building a virtual society of hundreds of millions of agents. When Claude went down, their autofailover algorithm rolled to the other providers, taking down all frontier labs. Reports from China are raising concern what's being termed the "Gastown criti…
Nice to know e-stop is functional!

"golf fizbuz" works well, giving a 54 Python one for i in range(1,101):print("Fizz"*(i%3 "golf fizzbuzz" gave a 46 perl one print$_%15?$_%3?$_%5?$_:Buzz:Fizz:FizzBuzz,$/for 1..100 Both "code fizzbuzz" and just "fizbuz" gave this longer python one-liner print('\n'.join("Fizz"*(i%3==0)+"Buzz"*(i%5==0) or str(i) for i in range(1, 101))) That's the magic of using a known problem, you don't need to write much and even wit…
Whenever I try those short prompts, I get bunch of text + the code itself, but way more than just the code. Which model specifically are you doing this with?
Trying to get an AI give ONLY a simple answer and not several is "boring" to me, as for me AI is a supplement to my reasoning ability, not a substitute.
Appending "code only" seems to work, at least with "golf fizbuz code only" gave me this one liner, which is long, but at least doesn't have the text that you dislike.

That makes no sense, they should be able to host chatgpt.com regardless and just say "Sorry, we're at capacity" or something instead of hard 404
Distributed systems are hard. For all we know, this could be the error code returned by some DNS service that is down because of load and a proxy cannot find the records, so 404 makes sense, or whatever. Systems like these don't always have a easy point in the infrastructure that can ALWAYS respond correctly no matter what.
... when vibe-coded.

The boring question is whether there is a claudeflare issue impacting them all. The fun question is whether this a rogue AI taking control of the compute of all of the organizations.
My money is on the wholesale paperclip market exploding next week.
