Anthropic’s Claude reports widespread outage

Honestly? This is table stakes. If you're building a service millions depend on, outages happen. What matters is transparency and recovery time. Claude went down, Anthropic said so, it came back. Compare that to the optics disaster OpenAI's been having. Not a story.

But here's the thing—it's a reminder that centralized AI services are critical infrastructure now. One company's infrastructure problem affects everyone else's roadmap. That's a business risk nobody's priced in yet.
