For folks who have latest version (0.4.1) LM Studio installed, I just noticed they added endpoints for being compatible with Claude Code, maybe this is an excellent moment to play around with local models, if you have the GPU for it. zai-org/glm-4.7-flash (Q4) is supposed to be OK-ish, and should fit within 24GB VRAM. It's not great, but always fun to experiment, and if the API stays down, you have some time to waste :)
The great thing about LLMs being more or less commoditized is switching is so easy.
I use Claude Code via the VS Code extension. When I got a couple of 500 errors just now I simply copy pasted my last instructions into Codex and kept going.
It's pretty rare that switching costs are THAT low in technology!
I've had the $20/month account for OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic for months. Anthropic consistently has more downtime and throws more errors than the other two. Claude (on the web) also has a lot of seemingly false positive errors. It will claim an error occurred but then work normally. I genuinely like Claude the best but its performance does not inspire confidence.
Everybody that uses it knows it is down, what value does this add? No context here either. Posts like these feels so much like a low hanging first-to-post-this for karma grab.
It's like.. Popular service is down, let me post that to hn first! Low effort but can still end up popular.
I dunno. Maybe I'm being overly critical. Thoughts?
To add something to the discussion though: this is a reminder why you should not invest in one tool, claude or otherwise. Also, don't go enhancing one of these agents, ond only one of these agents. beads spent the better part of a medium sized country in energy to create a simple TODO list and got smeared in 10 minutes once claude integrated todos in their client.

Why do people have to learn the same lessons over and over again? What makes them forget or blind to the obvious pitfalls?
