Anthropic has by far been the most unreliable provider I've ever seen. Daily incidents, and this one seems to have taken down all their services. Can't even login to the Console.

All the AI labs are but Anthropic is the worst. Anyone serious about running Claude in prod is using Bedrock or Vertex. We've been pretty happy with Vertex.

Funny observation - it feels like being in the EU I get a much better AI SaaS experience than folks over in the US. It’s like every other day, the moment US working hours start, AI (in my case I mostly use Anthropic, others may be better) starts dying or at least getting intermittent errors. In EU working hours there’s rarely any outages.

To back up that observation: I've seen a LOT of commentary on social media that Anthropic models (Claude / Opus) seem to degrade in capability when the US starts it's workday vs when the US is asleep.

And on the flip side, the status page literally says:

> Importantly, we never intentionally degrade model quality as a result of demand or other factors, and the issues mentioned above stem from unrelated bugs.

Have you used Bitbucket?

A core research library for MATLAB I used in a course project used to be on BitBucket, though thankfully didn't have to deal with a lot of collaboration there.

keyword: intentionally

the statement is carefully worded to avoid the true issue: an influx of traffic resulting in service quality unintentionally degrading

Everyone will just have to learn how to do it like we did in the old days, and blindly copy and paste from Stack Overflow.

Or they could just use Gemini or GPT-5. It isn't exactly difficult these days to find alternate LLMs

or Anthropic models on AWS, etc.

They should learn to write a few lines of code themselves while they wait.

Hilarious, have you got any new ones?
