In the Claude.ai chat, this was announced to me as

    "You have reached the messages quota for your account. It will reset in 2 hours, or you can upgrade now"
Either I have perfect timing for reaching my quota limits, or some product monetization manager deserves a raise.

More likely that error handling is not well implemented - i.e Either backend is not throwing the equivalent of 429/402 errors or the gateway is not handling the errors well and returns this message even though a 429 is being thrown.

I’m imagining a steampunk dystopia in 50 years: “all world production stopped, LLM hosting went down. The market is in free-fall. Sam, are you there?” Man that cracks me up.

I remember hearing Karpathy refer to these outages as a worldwide "intelligence brownout".

Props to them for actually updating their status page as issues are happening rather than hours later. I was working with claude code and hit an API error, checked the status page and sure enough there was an outage. This should be a given for any service that others rely on, but sadly this is seldom the case.

Seldom? Most status pages I've seen do eventually get updated, just not within that first critical 3 minutes.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The nice thing is unlike Cloudflare or AWS you can actually host good LLMs locally. I see a future where a non-trivial percentage of devs have an expensive workstation that runs all of the AI locally.

I’m fairly sure you can also still run computers locally and connect them to the Internet.

Ah, you need to buy into this dystopia wholesale. The internet is also down because the LLMs fucked up the BGP routing table, which congress agreed (at the time) should run through the LLM interface.

Imagination, either the first or last thing to die in 2075.

I think it's possible, but the current trend is that by the time you can run x level at home, they have 10-100x in the frontier models, so if you can run today's Claude.ai at home, then software engineering as a career is already over.

My poorly informed hope is that that we can have mixture of experts with highly tuned models on areas of focus. If I'm coding in language Foo, I only care about a model that understands Foo and its ecosystem. I imagine that should be self-hostable now.
