OpenAI is very good in terms of not having as much outages as Anthropic, but almost all products except Codex and the pro model is unimpressive, anthropic has the opposite situation.

for the longest time, anthropic with claude+code was the goat and everything else was mid at best, sounds fmailiar? right now codex is just a pleasure to work with while anthropic is dropping balls left and right, hopefully the planned IPO makes a bit of fire under their asses to get their vibecoded messes sorted and the core experience competitive again. even Opus 17 won't fix this when it gets nerfed or straight up isn't reliable or too expensive for more than 3 prompts a week.

Shades of early twitter. Early twitter showed the fail whale as often as it showed tweets and yet it was an unstoppable juggernaut that people kept using.

Same with Reddit. A decade ago it felt like they were down more than they were up. And it didn't slow down their growth trajectory. Instead, as soon as it was back there would be a thousand shitposts about "How did you all survive the outage? Did you work?"

Seems to be a very regular occurrence starting around this time of day (14:30 UTC)... Claude Code returning: API Error: 500 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"api_error","message":"Internal server error"},"request_id":"---"} Over and over again!

Yep, daily haha. Well at least this time they aren't just silently reducing thinking on the server side, which ended up making a mess in my codebase when they did that last time. I'd rather a 500 than a silent rug-pull.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

No amount of valuation can fix global supply issues for GPUs for inference unfortunately. I suspect they're highly oversubscribed, thus the reason why we're seeing them do other things to cut down on inference cost (ie changing their default thinking length).

Remember when OpenAI wasn’t allowing new subscriptions to their ChatGPT pro plans because they were oversubscribed? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Wouldn't that be good? I remember back in the day you could only get Gmail thru an invite, it was an awesome strategy. "Currently closed for applications" creates FOMO. They'd just need to actually get the GPUs in relatively short supply. They could do it in bursts though, right? "Now accepting applications for a short time."

I'm not an internet marketer but that sounds like a win win to me. People feel special, they get extra hype, and the service isn't broken.

US Pacific comes online while London is still working and they can't handle it. $380bn valuation btw.

Their issues seem to extend well beyond inference into services like auth.
