Earlier quoted context omitted.

We are spending the equivalent of 32 monthly software engineer salaries on Claude per month.

Is it worth it?

He was fired before answering.

[but as his manager I can tell you:] YES !!!!

We've been running our 10 dev org on 8 H100s on open models (with some tweaks). Sure they aren't as good as the big providers but they 1. don't go down 2. have pretty damn high tok/s. It pays for itself. Posting with a fresh account because I'm not supposed to share these details for obvious reason. If you want help on setting this up, just reply with a way to reach you.

yea just buy 300k worth of hardware and bob's your uncle

"We are investigating an issue preventing users from reaching Claude.ai, and will provide an update as soon as possible." Who is We? I thought software engineers were going to be redundant and AI could do it all itself? (not to take anything away from Claude code + Claude both of which I love)

I've never really understood this kind of sneer comment.

The amount of unfunny reddit snark in this thread is embarrassing.

Hug ops to everyone involved in these outages and trying to maintain uptime. But glad my team is staying nimble and has multi-model (Anthropic, Codex, Gemini), multi-modal (desktop, CLI/TUI, web) dev tooling. As our actual coding skills collectively atrophy, we'll either need to switch tools or go for a walk when the LLM is down. In the cloud era I advised against a multi-cloud strategy, as the effort to impact just…

The spend at my organization has reached beyond the $200,000 per month level on Anthropic's enterprise tier. The amount of outages we have had over these past few months are astounding and coupled with their horrendous support it has our executive team furious. its alot of money to be spending for a single 9 of reliablility.

Obviously there is only so much you can say; but is that $200K due to the raw number of seats you have, or are you burning through a lot on raw API usage? I guess I'm trying to understand, large business, or large usage.

we are in the SMB space, the spend is almost entirely usage for us at this point, rather than seat cost. For context, we are a software firm focused on difficult engineering problems, but I cant divulge much else.

How are they going to fix it if the AI that designed it isn't working?

Let’s ask AI

You're absolutely right! AI could be very helpful in this situation!

Oh no wait... the outage is with out AI itself, so how can AI help? Allow me to re-evaluate.

Yes, let's ask AI!

Oh no wait... the outage is with AI itself, I already correctly identified this above.

It seems you will have to rely on your engineering skills to solve this problem yourself, ie, you're cooked! I will auto-renew your subscription to ensure you can be sure you'll have access to AI to solve this problem if it ever comes back online.

It was pretty hard to justify the purchase to the board but we got a decent deal from a nearby data-center (~15% discount). Thankfully, it's fixed cost, its an asset we can use for our taxes, and it will survive for years to come. The only thing we have to work on is maintenance as well as looking into some renewable energy options.

We're also looking into how to do some secure cost sharing with this so that all people need to pay for are what it costs for us to run everything! We're just planning on reserving at least 51% of the capacity for us and the rest for everyone else.
