The C-suite doesn't want us to write code by hand anymore, so I think I'm supposed to just drink tea and collect salary whenever Claude is down.

I feel ashamed writing code while Claude does it way better than me... I've found my forte is at designing systems and making project-level decisions, something that Claude still doesn't do very well.

Working for me (Desktop + Code) but had a bunch of oauth issues this morning and it's been up and down like a drunken monkey on a trampoline all week, especially around start of biz times in the US.
The Pentagon spat is having a hell of a Streisand Effect on them; DAUs +180% (source: SimilarWeb), paid subs doubling. If past experience is any indicator, it'll settle down as they scale up (or they fall out of the news cycle).

Can someone that's worked at one of these big companies honestly explain how it happens that when these guys are down, it's never for like 10-15 mins ... it's always 1-2+ hours? Do they not have mechanisms in place to revert their migrations and deployments? What goes on behind the scenes during these "outages"?
aix1 19 hours ago [-]
Part of it observability bias: longer, more widespread outages are more likely to draw signficant attention. This doesn't mean that there aren't also shorter, smaller-scope outages, it's just that we're much less likely to know about them.
For example, if there's a problem that gets caught at the 1% stage of a staged rollout, we're probably not going to find ourselves discussing it on HN.
jcfrei 19 hours ago [-]
Quick fixes have tendencies to break other stuff and just make matters worse. Better to leave it offline for a little longer, fix the definitive root issue and make sure it comes online nicely. If the issue was just a quirk in a recent deployment then these probably can be reverted easily on the endpoints where they were just deployed (I'm sure they are using staggered roll-outs). These long term downtime things are probably not issues related to a recent release.
Ocerge 17 hours ago [-]
You will run into thundering herd/hotspotting/pre-warmed caching issues when you have to restart. There's generally not an easy to way to switch these sorts of systems on and off, especially a relatively new system that isn't battle-hardened.
I got nothing for the github outages this year though, that seems like incompetence.
mrguyorama 16 hours ago [-]
Well when the coding agents go down who are they supposed to ask what the problem is?
They should probably buy subscriptions to those Chinese agents.
bartread 19 hours ago [-]
I don't know about down but I use the VS Code extension on a Pro plan (that I'm considering upgrading from) and it's been slower than molasses flowing uphill in winter for me this afternoon. I'm (a) feeling unwell, and (b) up against a deadline, so this is starting to damage my calm.
HPSimulator 15 hours ago [-]
I ran into this with my own SaaS a while back.
One day I started getting API errors across requests and initially assumed it was something on my side. After digging into it, the provider I was using was getting overloaded and intermittently failing.
That was the moment I realized relying on a single external service was a risk I hadn’t really planned for.
Now I keep two providers configured: a primary and a secondary. If error rates spike or the API stops responding, the system can fail over instead of the whole product going down.
It added a bit of complexity, but the peace of mind is worth it.
The issues have been described as login/logout, but I'm not sure that's all that's happening. In today's outage and the last the API stopped and kicked the session out.
I only mention this in case someone from Anthropic perhaps isn't aware that it seems to be a wider issue than login/logout (although I'm sure they are!)

throwaway89201 19 hours ago [-]
I use Big-AGI [1] as selfhosted open source LLM workspace, and it's quite telling that when adding API keys for Anthropic, it presents a note inbetween reading "Experiencing Issues? Check Anthropic status" that it doesn't for any other model provider.
Maybe unrelated but Claude has not only been slow but quality has also been bad the last 3-4 days.
Everything was fine last week then suddenly even the smallest tasks can't be completed correctly

Are they going to extend my subscription time as a result? It ends today, but I was locked out an hour or so ago, and I'm not sure if that was actually due to this outage.
All the vibe coding is clearly not working out too well.

Experienced same... they logged me out on claude code a few minutes ago. And when I login, it makes me wait >15000ms for the auth (which exceeds their cutoff time), so auth fails!

Can people drop a good LocalLlama setup that I can run on M4?
giancarlostoro 19 hours ago [-]
Not sure about LocalLlama, but have you tried LMStudio? If you use Zed it will auto-pickup whatever model you enable on LMStudio. I keep meaning to write a blog post about this for people unaware that you can pair the two pretty easily on a Mac. I mostly use CC but like to test offline models now and then to see how far they've come along.
ridiculous_leke 19 hours ago [-]
I use Ollama to run local models but have never used one with CC. Curious what models work best for people.
giancarlostoro 18 hours ago [-]
I use Zed with its Claude Code integration, and if I wanna use any other LLM I use LMStudio which is nice on the Mac, and hosts the APIs for it, Zed knows which models are available which is a plus.

epolanski 19 hours ago [-]
Slightly ot but I've been using OpenAI's GPT 5.4 on Codex and so far finding it more convincing than Claude with Opus 4.6 at maximum thinking for my use cases.
I'm more interested in helping with design and architecture rather than having it author tons of code.
Keep in mind that OpenAI has a way more generous tier for 20$ than Anthropic's one, and I think you can even use codex for free with the latest models, so give it a shot, you may find it better than you expected and a solid backup to Claude.
pgm8705 19 hours ago [-]
I agree it seems better at complex work. However, I find that it often tries to make ALL work complex. I had a simple bug fix where I knew exactly what the 1-2 line fix was. GPT 5.4 added like 200 LOC and started refactoring the entire function of the app. Was the refactor possibly an improvement? Maybe, but I needed the fix quick so I stopped it and switched to Claude, which did exactly what I was expecting.
