Earlier quoted context omitted.

That will be one strange way to release a model.

I mean, can you expect a vibecoding company to do stuff with 0 downtime? They brought the models down and are now panicking at HQ since there's no one to bring them back up

This made me laugh only because I imagine there could possibly be some truth to it. This is the world we are in. Maybe they all loaded codex to fix their deploy? ;)

Their GitHub issues are wild; random people are posting the same useless "bug reports" over and over multiple times per minute.

I find it a bit annoying that the last place where I can learn about an Anthropic outage is the Anthropic Status page.

https://status.claude.com/

what do you mean it's right there. Judging by the Github issues it only took them 10 minutes to add the issue message.
