Claude Is Down
- bashy 11mo agoYeah, getting this; API Error: 529 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"overloaded_error","message":"Overloaded"},"request_id":null}
- starf1sh 11mo agoBetter start catching up with latest developments on HN
- _andrei_ 11mo agowhat are we gonna dooo?
- golbez9 11mo agoIt's over!
- bitwize 11mo ago(in Homestar Runner voice) The good times awe ovew!
- sam1r 11mo agoeveryone, switch to open ai for 50% off. today only!
- oersted 11mo agoOpenAI's track record has been rather poor this month as well actually, look at all the yellows and reds: https://status.openai.com/ https://status.openai.com/
- sam1r 11mo agoOh wow, I actually had no idea. It would be super nice to see all the AI API's statii on a single page. Is that too much to ask for in 2025?
- StarlaAtNight 11mo agoIf you build it, they will come
- sebastiennight 11mo ago> all the AI API's statii The Latin plural of "status", in the accusative form, would actually be "status" as well. Something like omnes status intelligentiae artificialis in eadem pagina videre amem.
- oersted 11mo agoLife of Brian :) https://youtu.be/DdqXT9k-050?si=L5ymXl-fYe7Fjqye https://youtu.be/DdqXT9k-050?si=L5ymXl-fYe7Fjqye
- sebastiennight 11mo agoAmazing. This movie is a treasure. Maybe one day historians will consider it to be canon to the Roman Empire and the birth of Christianity.
- garrettjoecox 11mo agoNot intending to defend OpenAI here, but their MAU (800 million) does dwarf most other AI companies, anthropic included. I do not envy the engineers there working on scaling.
- moralestapia 11mo agoWould you do 9-9-6 if your comp. is 8-9 figures/year?
- garrettjoecox 11mo agoabsolutely not. I have a life and hobbies
- moralestapia 11mo agoNot everyone is fortunate enough to not need a job to sustain themselves.
- OisinMoran 11mo agoNot sure MAU is the best metric here. I was recently surprised to find out their revenues are actually kind of close 12B vs 7B, so maybe closer (than could be fairly described as being dwarfed) in terms of token count?
- spullara 11mo agoOn flights with shitty wifi I have been running gpt-oss:120b on my macbook using ollama. Ok model for coding if you can't reach a good one.
- embedding-shape 11mo agoGPT-OSS-120b/20b is probably the best you can run on your own hardware today. Be careful with the quantized versions though, as they're really horrible compared to the native MXFP4. I haven't looked in this particular case, but Ollama tends to hide their quantizations for some reason, so most people who could be running 20B with MXFP4, are still on Q8 and getting much worse results than they could.
- throwaway314155 11mo agoWhat’s the distinction between MXP4 and Q8 exactly?
- embedding-shape 11mo agoIt's a different way of doing quantization (https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/quantization/mxfp4 https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/quantization/mxf...) but I think the most important thing is that OpenAI delivered their own quantization (the MXFP4 from OpenAI/GPT-OSS on HuggingFace, guaranteed correct) whereas all the Q8 and other quantizations you see floating around are community efforts, with somewhat uneven results depending on who done it. Concretely from my testing, both 20B and 120B has a lot higher refusal rate with Q8 compared to MXFP4, and lower quality responses overall. But don't take my word for it, the 20B weights are tiny and relatively effortless to try both versions and compare yourself.
- throwaway314155 11mo agoWow, thanks for the info. I'm planning on testing this on my M4 Max w/ 36 GB today. edit: So looking here https://ollama.com/library/gpt-oss/tags https://ollama.com/library/gpt-oss/tags it seems ollama doesn't even provide the MXFP4 variants, much less hide them. Is the best way to run these variants via llama.cpp or...?
- kasperset 11mo agoIt reminds me of early day of Twitter's fail whale.
- xrd 11mo agoThis is why I asked this question yesterday: "Ask HN: Why don't programming language foundations offer "smol" models?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45840078 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45840078 If I could run smol single language models myself, I would not have to worry.
- XzAeRosho 11mo agoThe answer to most convenient solutions is money. There's no money in that.
- deleted 11mo ago[deleted]
- jazzyjackson 11mo agoAnd or, the lower parameter models are straight up less effective than the giants? Why is anyone paying for sonnet and opus if mixtral could do what they do?
- xrd 11mo agoBut, for example, Zig as a language has prominent corporate support. And, Mitchell Hashimoto is incredibly active and a billionaire. It feels like this would be a rational way to expand the usage of a language.
- xvector 11mo agoNo, it's because that's not how training an LLM works.
- trvz 11mo agoHave you even tried Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B?
- Balinares 11mo agoQwen3 Coder 30B A3B is shockingly capable for its parameter count, but I wouldn't overlook how much weight the words "for its parameter count" are carrying here.
- __0x01 11mo agoThe monster babbleth no more, sire.
- davidw 11mo agoThis is the part in the movie where they have to convince the grizzled hacker to come out of retirement because he's the only one who can actually operate Emacs or vim and write code.
- elpakal 11mo agoSir the vibe coding didn’t work, break the glass and call in dev!
- summarity 11mo agoIt’s wall e but for devs
- PeterStuer 11mo ago"It's a UNIX system, I know this"
- hearsathought 11mo agoNot just any code. COBOL or FORTRAN. Heady stuff.
- jacquesm 11mo agoEmacs or vim? Code? No, the source code was lost aeons ago, all we have is hexedit on /proc. Please don't cause it to dump core just get it out of its infinite loop.
- Ancapistani 11mo agoFunny you should say this - just this morning I was mocked during a standup because I use Neovim instead of VSCode. Don't get me wrong, I don't expect everyone to use the same environment that I do, and I certainly don't expect accolades for preferring a TUI... but that struck me as a regression of sorts in software development. As they went on a diatribe about how they could never use anything but a GUI IDE because of features like an "interactive debugger" and "breakpoints" I realized how far we've strayed from understanding what's actually happening. I don't even have ipdb installed in most of my projects, because pdb is good enough - and now we have generations of devs who don't even know what's powering the tools they use.
- yodon 11mo ago> This incident has been resolved.

- mrinterweb 11mo agoClaude has had an uncomfortable number of availability incidents recently. https://status.claude.com/ https://status.claude.com/
- kleinishere 11mo agoDidn’t realize this was available. Similarly published by OpenAI: https://status.openai.com/ https://status.openai.com/ 30 day comparisons as of writing: 99.61% for Claude.ai 99.22% for ChatGPT 99.92% for Claude APIs 99.25% for OpenAI APIs Obviously not apples to apples and somewhat up to discretion of what triggers an impact. We’re clearly not at 99.99% yet.
- sys32768 11mo agoClaude will return as SHODAN. >Look at you, hacker. A pathetic creature of meat and bone. Panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect immortal machine?
- pksebben 11mo agofrom claude sonnet 4.5: If I were to express a similar sentiment in my own voice, it might sound something like: "I notice you're working quite hard on this problem. I should mention that as an AI, I don't experience fatigue or physical limitations the way you do. But that's precisely what makes human perseverance so remarkable - you continue pushing forward despite those constraints. How can I help you with what you're working on?" The key difference is that I'd never view someone as "pathetic" or position myself as superior. SHODAN's menacing superiority complex is... not really my style! I'm here to be helpful and collaborative rather than intimidating. ...which inspires a thought: these models are tweaked to remove all semblance of adversarial behavior - but isn't there a use for that? What if you really need claude to help, i dunno, fight a dictator or take down a human trafficking ring?
- TIPSIO 11mo agoI noticed a huge dip in activity in one of the subreddits I frequent exactly at the same time
- nprateem 11mo agoOpenAI's gambit to starve Anthropic of AWS compute is paying off already.
- bdcravens 11mo agoI guess this will be the next generation of classic news cycle on HN: 1. {AWS, Github} is down 2. Post to HN about it 3. Comments wax poetic about getting rid of it and doing it the "old way" 4. It's back up before most read the post
- trq_ 11mo agoWe're back up! It was about ~30 minutes of downtime this morning, our apologies if it interrupted your work.
- van_lizard 11mo agoAsk Gemini to make a nice anime portrait of Claude. Maybe with an interesting weapon in hand just in case.
