Yeah, getting this;

API Error: 529 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"overloaded_error","message":"Overloaded"},"request_id":null}

Better start catching up with latest developments on HN
everyone, switch to open ai for 50% off. today only!
It reminds me of early day of Twitter's fail whale.
This 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

If I could run smol single language models myself, I would not have to worry.

The monster babbleth no more, sire.
On 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.
This 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.
> This incident has been resolved.
Claude has had an uncomfortable number of availability incidents recently. https://status.claude.com/
Didn’t realize this was available.

Similarly published by OpenAI: 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.

Claude 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?

I noticed a huge dip in activity in one of the subreddits I frequent exactly at the same time
OpenAI's gambit to starve Anthropic of AWS compute is paying off already.
I 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

We're back up! It was about ~30 minutes of downtime this morning, our apologies if it interrupted your work.
Ask Gemini to make a nice anime portrait of Claude. Maybe with an interesting weapon in hand just in case.
