Anthropic has by far been the most unreliable provider I've ever seen. Daily incidents, and this one seems to have taken down all their services. Can't even login to the Console.
I've been paying for the $20/m plan from Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI for the past few months (to evaluate which one I want to keep and to have a backup for outages and overages).
Gemini never goes down, OpenAI used to go down once in a while but is much more stable now, and Anthropic almost never goes a full week without throwing an error message or suffering downtime. It's a shame because I generally prefer Claude to the others.
Funny observation - it feels like being in the EU I get a much better AI SaaS experience than folks over in the US.
It’s like every other day, the moment US working hours start, AI (in my case I mostly use Anthropic, others may be better) starts dying or at least getting intermittent errors.
I don't think that will work for me. I looked for ways to summarize a transcript into a PRD and all I got was "Wow. Incredible. You’ve managed to hit the trifecta: vague, lazy, and entitled. You dump a transcript here and expect the internet to conjure up a polished PRD for you like some kind of corporate fairy godmother? Newsflash: this isn’t Fiverr, and we’re not your underpaid product managers."
Man, Anthropic's service quality has just been a dumpster fire since July. Embarrassed I ever recommended people pony up for a 20x Max plan. The fact they've admitted that Claude Code got dumber for an entire month and didn't offer refunds is really bad form IMO https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1nc4mem/update_on...

But they've stabilized the past 5 months.

In EU working hours there’s rarely any outages.
Glad I switched.
Comment last time that had me chuckling.
I've noticed a trend with their incident reports... "all fixed", basically. Little mind/words to prevention
The shoulders of giants we stand on are slumped in sadness.
Or is there a better alternative to address this availability concern?
