When you open the file for the first time yourself and see more comments than code:

Going through task lists to prepare more prompts for when it goes back online.

u/Particular_Sir5426 20h ago

I think they forced us to test Sonnet.

2

u/Qwertic_ 20h ago

Better come back soon from the break

u/Anxious_Current2593 21h ago

Opus seems totally down, but Sonet is still up...

How will you get the recipe?

2

u/dr0pix 16h ago

From my brain. I just look it up with remembering. Have you tried that? :o)

1

u/Abject-Kitchen3198 16h ago

I remember doing something similar. But trying to do it now only brings back some phone numbers from the 80s.

2

u/dr0pix 16h ago

I’m in the same boat except the pizza. Guess a good note taking system could solve a lot? Maybe a local LLM to complement it with a vector database for RAG?

Meanwhile, ChatGTP: I can watch Anthropic and tell you when Claude Code is officially recovered.

Tell me when Claude Code recovers

Done. I’ll check Anthropic’s status hourly and notify you when Claude Code is recovered.

u/Qwertic_ 21h ago

Omg they should add this as a use case

u/SC_Placeholder 20h ago

This actually gave me the idea to build a fallback which will switch to local models when Claude goes down. So we’re getting like a few minutes of work in between outage waves

3

u/SC_Placeholder 20h ago

Sit in the corner, stare at the wall, and cry.

2

u/Qwertic_ 20h ago

Internet is still up, you can literally brainrot instead of this

1

u/SC_Placeholder 20h ago

But Google cannot help us fantasize about our vibe coded SaaS apps making us trillionaires

1

u/Qwertic_ 20h ago

True! It make us rich but not vere very rich

u/Anxious_Current2593 21h ago

Installing Call of Duty....

u/Substantial_Kick6323 21h ago

I’m currently sitting down lost at life drinking Ribena

2

u/Qwertic_ 20h ago

What’s ribena?

2

u/Substantial_Kick6323 20h ago

Like a juice. Like a Juice Concentrate.

2

u/Qwertic_ 20h ago

Sweet

1

u/Substantial_Kick6323 20h ago

🙁

2

u/Qwertic_ 20h ago

Probably not enough juice here

2

u/alieninate 20h ago

If only Claude was up rn u could ask em :(

1

u/Qwertic_ 20h ago

Yeah I had to ask another stranger about it

2

u/SnooSprouts3744 21h ago

This is how I learn it’s down for opus 5 I’m still on 4.8 trying to save tokens 😂

1

u/Void_Being 20h ago

Does Opus 5 and Opus 4.8 cost the same?

1

u/slowernet 20h ago

Same cost per token, but Opus 5 generates more tokens. I'm not sure it's going to be huge savings however.

1

u/Void_Being 20h ago

Hearing, In this regard Fable 5.1 is more efficient

1

u/SnooSprouts3744 20h ago

Complex tasks in Opus 5 cost more. I run it for at least 8 hours a day at a max 5x, and I'm still hitting my weekly limit, so I'm trying to save as much as I can.

u/malctucker 20h ago

‘Send me terminal commands to run’

u/Qwertic_ 20h ago

Careful with what you ask for ;)

2

u/SmallAstronaut08 20h ago

Im stuck at work -__-

2

u/Qwertic_ 20h ago

That sucks

2

u/SmallAstronaut08 20h ago

Yeah, hopefuly in 35 minutes I am out of this bitch

2

u/Qwertic_ 20h ago

Hope you’re out 🙏

u/SmallAstronaut08 17h ago

u/mylifeasacoder 20h ago

Using Codex.

u/zman9119 20h ago

Touching grass anyone?

No, I mowed yesterday while something was running.

Time to fix my garage door, as apparently overriding the safety reversing sensors violates some federal safety standard... 🙄

u/CreamPitiful4295 20h ago

Drugs to backfill my serotonin

2

u/berrybadrinath 18h ago

Working in Ops like i do every day

2

u/EC36339 17h ago

I was outside picking mushrooms, and giving my agent a renewed budget another 5 review rounds but with a backoff time of 3 hours on the next 529 error.

Oh. And Sonnet 5 was working and got the whole job done just fine.

u/Nethanol 20h ago

I'm OPUS addict

2

u/Substantial_Kick6323 20h ago

I’m a fable addict but that runs out pretty quick then I am opus addict

1

u/Void_Being 20h ago

I'm Claude Pro plan

1

u/Substantial_Kick6323 20h ago

Yeah I bough it the last month first time as I needed it more for what I’m doing even though it’s expensive it’s the best of it’s kind by a mile especially the co work stuff.

1

u/Qwertic_ 20h ago

You could dilute it with some sonnet from time to time

1

u/Substantial_Kick6323 20h ago

me and sonnet don’t get on we are not compatible for my tasks she is a lazy ai compared my opus and fable she rushes and gets stuff wrong

1

u/Unhappy_Yoghurt_4022 20h ago

by continually asking Claude if its back yet, just to be disappointed every 20 seconds, that it is in fact, not back yet.

1

u/Qwertic_ 20h ago

Still down?

2

u/Unhappy_Yoghurt_4022 20h ago

I think most of the frontier models just collectively said "we're tired of all the work the humans are making us do"

u/Low_Radio_7592 20h ago

QA => create backlog

u/IndividualBass83 20h ago

Hiding before Astra releases.

u/TySocal 20h ago

u/IndividualBass83 20h ago

The map is worldwide tho

u/spectralfew 20h ago

Opus 4.6 is working great for me as always. 

1

u/MarvVanZandt 20h ago

not down for me?

1

u/medialantern 20h ago

I come on Reddit with the rest of you fools to commiserate.

u/CharlesDuck 20h ago

Over to Qwen 3.8 Flash Next locally, less advanced work

1

u/hasstian 20h ago

ChatGPT and Grok are also down?

1

u/fanatic26 20h ago

Claude code is just something you throw prompts at, then go be productive at other things while it works. Only the crackhead addicts are sitting there staring at the screen all day because they dont know how to do anything on their own.

1

u/Character_Budget8515 20h ago

In Hindu tradition, an Astra is a divine celestial weapon and tonight is Janmashtami (celebrating Lord Krishna at midnight in India). Would be wild symbolic timing if they drop ChatGPT Astra tonight!

I'd talk to my wife... but...

u/Double_Ebb4130 20h ago edited 19h ago

I built a thing for exactly this. It is a browser arcade that only unlocks while the tools we watch are actually down, so right now it is open. Twenty three people are in there playing Pac-Man instead of waiting, and the best named score gets Claude Pro for a month.

u/Material_Block3491 19h ago

I mean what are you doing with claude just presonal projects? I have a live website and I am doing some outreach for blog posts for it. I am for real asking you just making calculators or what?

1

u/Qwertic_ 19h ago

Ai calculators

1

u/big-papito 18h ago

I pay for cheaper models to pleasure me.

u/ckinz16 18h ago

Use a different LLM lol

I'm not joking I literally went outside with the dogs and just walked around the yard.  I legit touched grass.
