Long story short, it seems to be faster and less vocal but not much dumber (it's just my thinking partner, so I read a lot of the output as I create a large data model).
I read this as "the code is working as intended but the bug is an artifact of the original design"
Good for more precise changes.
The verbosity of Opus 5 isn't even my issue, it's consistency. For every 10 tasks Opus 5 accomplishes, there's at least one task that Opus 5 does just an atrocious job of, or a debugging investigation that it just completely goes off the rails on.
I would never have predicted this a year ago.
I always scoffed about engineers not doing work during Github outages - I'd always find some kind of other engineering to do if PRs or builds were piling up.
But during model outages, and since I'm not actively set up to use OpenAI/Codex at the moment, I'll just find something else productive to do. I don't think I'm ever going to write code by hand again unless I'm fixing something the AI can't manage or the change is small enough. Why even try when the machine is 100x faster?
Should I give Codex another try? It's been a month or so since I last used it, and it always felt inferior at Rust and TypeScript.
switching subs is kind of a PITA since you need to commit to a month at least
Their status page is hard to believe given how many folks are chiming in to report on Reddit https://status.openai.com/
Seeing as how xai, anthropic, and openai are all having issues at the same time, it has to be a common provider, right? Maybe cloudflare?
edit: ChatGPT and Grok are back up. Claude is not. Typical.

Status page is very funny - claiming "We’re fully operational" while https://chatgpt.com gives 404, lol.
Looks like trouble in the SpaceX datacenters.
those were only relieved once they did the Colossus deal with SpaceX
are you only saying that because of Elon?
here is the error it was throwing:
> Error: claude-sonnet-5[1m] is temporarily unavailable (overloaded), so auto mode cannot determine the safety of Edit right now. Wait a moment and then try this action again. If it keeps failing, continue with other tasks that don't require this action and come back to it later. Note: reading files, searching code, and other read-only operations do not require the classifier and can still be used.
Easy workaround is to work outside US peak hours (europe morning). I love this outages, I am hardly affected, and weekly reset usually promptly follows!
If there's a lot of demand for rollercoaster rides, the rollercoaster will not stop operating; instead the queue of people in front of it will increase.
It's not like a bridge or elevator where we have a certain number of people that can use it, and if one more person joins, the whole structure breaks apart and everybody perishes.
Those guys are running a website that provides an interface for some specific hardware. Just like file hosting providers back in the day selling their terabyte-sized hard disks in 100MB-increments.
This can ultimately result in the system breaking. I don't think Anthropic engineers are that much worse than their peers, such that they are 10x more prone to causing outages due to bad deployments.
I haven't switched because there's nothing to switch to that is anywhere as good. I've been making dedicated attempts at using Sol but it falls short, despite what some people claim.
Anthropic is a trillion dollar company and employs way more skilled high-paid engineers than you are btw, you really think it’s a systems issue not capacity
Anyone out there working in this space who can elucidate us on interesting failure scenarios unique to the space?
They are experiencing increased errors themselves.

I also fully acknowledge that I might be making spurious associations
If I didn't know any better, I would have said Grok is using Claude behind the hood. But definitely curious now why it’s happening with both these LLM providers around the same time

Their Sol model has been doing great for most of my tasks, even at its "Medium" setting.
Much different picture then back when I was using Claude. I would sneeze and half my usage would be gone and then it go down several times in between.
Hope it goes well for you too!
EDIT: it was just 3.6 Flash, 3.1 Pro works it seems.
I can feel that my actual cognitive engineering skills are in decline. Does anyone else see this? To those of you who haven't hand written a PR in months, can you still write your own personal software as easily as you once could?
I can still do it but it requires more willpower than it used to in part because I’m getting used to telling some LLM to do it for me.
Maybe those no AI Friday ideas have some merit.
It lols like the timeline is Claude went down, some % migrated to Codex, then Codex went down. So much for the “multiple providers” theory. Wonder how token-based providers are doing.
lol
Anthropic, please hire a literate human.
This can't be good for retention numbers. Old-school VCs would've ripped them apart in the air. Where did all the expertise go?
