They are having a massive surge because Claude is down.
- FartyMcFarter 2mo agoMaybe only in some regions?
- voxleone 2mo agoDown for me in SE SA
- kristofferR 2mo 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 2mo agoexactly - this should be trivial.
- ab71e5 2mo agoYeah who wrote that website? Oh right
- embedding-shape 2mo 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 2mo ago> Distributed systems are hard ... when vibe-coded.
- embedding-shape 2mo 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 2mo agoAgreed, it makes no sense to send out 404. Unless some agent finally went rogue with absolute permission and did `rm -rf`
- jmaw 2mo agoAt the very least, should be a 429

- embedding-shape 2mo 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 2mo agopi.dev + anything else
- layer8 2mo agoOpenCode and Pi. Anything that uses open models, really. Independence Day > Judgement Day
- jenniferhooley 2mo agoGLM 5.3 (usually flash) + OpenCode.
- vovavili 2mo agoOpenCode Desktop + Muse Spark 1.3 Free is actually surprisingly good.
- Laurel1234 2mo ago[dead]
- jsw97 2mo agoProviders should surge capacity when another provider fails.
- deleted 2mo ago[deleted]
- aizk 2mo agoYep, this is most likely it. The shift is fast and enormous.
