Hopefully it goes better for them than it has for GitHub.

  hope in one hand and do something in the other to see which one fills up faster. hoping is always a strained good idea, but hoping on Azure really strains credulity

    But increases credibility?

    If you hope for a hand full of do, you win(doze?)

Ahh now it is clear why so many outages lately. Solid choice.

  When you host a solid model on terrible infrastructure, the infrastructure wins

    As God intended. I fear the day it becomes the other way around.

Microsoft 365 Copilot has enabled Claude models, and I imagine they want that running on Azure?
- jadbox 7mo ago
  Likely. MS doesn't like using models that are not hosted by them internally (see VSCode Copilot)

There you go. So when Azure has an outage, so will Anthropic (and Github). Now expect both of them to have unstable uptime and outages every week.

  You don’t thino Anthropic has any kind of resiliency, so net new compute reduces downtime? Any docs on that view?

That is significant for us. We have already accepted the risk of using Microsoft Azure so we use GitHub Copilot for that reason. We have Claude disabled at the moment but if Anthropic has moved over to Azure then we can consider to start using it. "Accepted the risk", just in case people don't know, is a compliancy term. I don't mean that Azure is risky.

  > I don't mean that Azure is risky. Depending on the company and their sector, people will nod in approval, or start laughing. My company also accepted the risk of using Microsoft. We have a "data sharing agreement" together, with very powerful magical words. Compliance people are happy and sleep well.

    I consider Azure risky and I would love to hear more about the companies and sectors that would laugh (with me). So which ones are you talking about?

  They added Microsoft but alongside them also list Google and Amazon for "all products".
