There you go. So when Azure has an outage, so will Anthropic (and Github).

Now expect both of them to have unstable uptime and outages every week.

I hear the slot machine thing a lot but I don’t get it. I use Claude Code every day for coding because it makes me way more productive. But I don’t resonate with the slot machine effect. Can you expand on what mechanism you see that give it a slot machine effect? Is it for all users or just a subset?

I think it is just a strawman extrapolation of the nondeterministic nature of LLMs.

Hopefully it goes better for them than it has for GitHub.

hope in one hand and do something in the other to see which one fills up faster. hoping is always a strained good idea, but hoping on Azure really strains credulity

Microsoft 365 Copilot has enabled Claude models, and I imagine they want that running on Azure?

Likely. MS doesn't like using models that are not hosted by them internally (see VSCode Copilot)

For people who want to ask a model for an app, or a website, or something at a level of “hey you make apps right, I have had this idea for years…” the experience is akin to a slot machine — sometimes they get what they imagined their description would create and it works, and sometimes they get a hollow chocolate approximation.

WTF is a "subprocessor"? They should just be honest and say "data loophole".

It’s basically another party that is used as infrastructure by the company you’re using the services of, who has access to your data, but that sub processor doesn’t need to extend its terms down into the eula. So like if you host databases on aws, they are your sub processor.
