They need to keep an emergency backup Claude to fix the production Claude when it goes down.

(More seriously I wonder if they'd consider using Openai or Gemini for this purpose)

bashtoni · 10 days ago
Opus and Sonnet are still working fine in AWS Bedrock (and probably Google Vertex), so they genuinely do have an emergency backup Claude they can use.

I've noticed this too and am wondering why this hasn't been baked into the popular agents yet. Or maybe it has and it just hasn't panned out?

Anecdotaly I think this is in Claude Code. It's pretty frequent to see it implement something, then declare it "forgot" a requirement and go back and alter or add to the implementation.

Is that tonight or last night?

It was only issued this morning Australian time, so I presume it's for tonight.

The tech industry seems to attract people that feel personally attacked when someone else makes different choices that they do.

"Why are you using Go? Rust is best! You should be using that!" "Don't use AWS CDK, use Terraform! Don't you know anything?"

Hi, Felix from the team here, this is my product - let us know what you think. We're on purpose releasing this very early, we expect to rapidly iterate on it.

(We're also battling an unrelated Opus 4.5 inference incident right now, so you might not see Cowork in your client right away.)

Hi Felix!

Simple suggestion: logo should be a cow and and orc to match how I originally read the product name.

How will the Google/Anthropic/OpenAI's of the world make money on AI if open models are competitive with their models? What hurt open source in the past was its inability to keep up with the quality and feature depth of closed source competitors, but models seem to be reaching a performance plateau; the top open weight models are generally indistinguishable from the top private models.

Infrastructure owners with access to the cheapest energy will be the long run winners in AI.

This is exactly why the CEO of Anthropic has been talking up "risks" from AI models and asking for legislation to regulate the industry.

Literally "cancelled" my Anthropic subscription this morning (meaning disabled renewal), annoyed hitting Opus limits again. Going to enable billing again.

The neat thing is that Anthropic might be able to do this as they massively moving their models to Google TPUs (Google just opened up third party usage of v7 Ironwood, and Anthropic planned on using a million TPUs), dramatically reducing their nvidia-tax spend.

Which is why I'm not bullish on nvidia. The days of it being able to get the outrageous margins it does are drawing to a close.

bashtoni · 4 months ago
Anthropic are already running much of their workloads on Amazon Inferentia, so the nvidia tax was already somewhat circumvented.

AIUI everything relies on TSMC (Amazon and Google custom hardware included), so they're still having to pay to get a spot in the queue ahead of/close behind nvidia for manufacturing.
