They are having a massive surge because Claude is down.
- FartyMcFarter 23d agoMaybe only in some regions?
- voxleone 23d agoDown for me in SE SA
- kristofferR 23d agoThat makes no sense, they should be able to host chatgpt.com regardless and just say "Sorry, we're at capacity" or something instead of hard 404
- dsrtslnd23 23d agoexactly - this should be trivial.
- ab71e5 23d agoYeah who wrote that website? Oh right
- embedding-shape 23d agoDistributed systems are hard. For all we know, this could be the error code returned by some DNS service that is down because of load and a proxy cannot find the records, so 404 makes sense, or whatever. Systems like these don't always have a easy point in the infrastructure that can ALWAYS respond correctly no matter what.
- chrisjj 23d ago> Distributed systems are hard ... when vibe-coded.
- embedding-shape 23d agoVibe coded or not, building and running distributed systems is hard :P I think only people who never built and/or ran them would say it isn't hard, regardless of what tools you have available. Not saying OpenAI won't find it extra hard due to their vibe coding, still hard when you're a group of knowledgeable people with/without AI.
- stacktrace 23d agoAgreed, it makes no sense to send out 404. Unless some agent finally went rogue with absolute permission and did `rm -rf`
- jmaw 23d agoAt the very least, should be a 429

- embedding-shape 23d agoHah, my first reaction once I saw these random 404 errors was "Maybe it's time to test Claude Code again with the new models" but made a short stop here at HN first, ended up reading your comment. What other agent harnesses and models (besides local ones) are people enjoying right now that aren't based on platforms that are down currently? :)
- trouve_search 23d agopi.dev + anything else
- layer8 23d agoOpenCode and Pi. Anything that uses open models, really. Independence Day > Judgement Day
- jenniferhooley 23d agoGLM 5.3 (usually flash) + OpenCode.
- vovavili 23d agoOpenCode Desktop + Muse Spark 1.3 Free is actually surprisingly good.
- Laurel1234 23d ago[dead]
- jsw97 23d agoProviders should surge capacity when another provider fails.
- deleted 23d ago[deleted]
- aizk 23d agoYep, this is most likely it. The shift is fast and enormous.
