Can confirm. I keep getting an error "Authentication service was unavailable. You can try again." However, logging out and trying to log in I just get the same issue.
This is why I'm local first. Local models are getting pretty capable for most tasks. I just worry AI companies are colluding to make hardware more expensive and force everyone on the cloud, but then this stuff will happen and worse.
The effect of the current sudden burst of extreme market demand from entities with very deep pockets for (GPU, RAM, SSD storage, etc) seems to be indistinguishable from the point of view of the small end user to market collusion. Standing up something like a new DRAM fab is an incredibly expensive proposition that takes years to do.
I hope so. From what I read the difference is companies are buying HBM which is different that DDR, and the memory manufacturers only have so much output. Maybe that levels off. I also think the local models will be good enough as any other that are run on the cloud and you would only get an expensive subscription for the really demanding tasks like research or enterprise scale software.
Same. I am here in California, and I get the same "Authentication service was unavailable." Then I get redirected to a page that shows "Claude is temporarily unavailable."
Claude is down, but their status page doesn't mention it yet: "All Systems Operational" – https://status.claude.com.
The update is awaiting PR dept approval.
Finally added to status page: https://status.claude.com
"Claude, build me a status page, make no mistakes"
yep, and only show green bars for Govt.

Yeap, all Oauth sessions got kicked and can't get back in. Welp, switching to Deepseek V4 Flash 0731 via OpenRouter.
Stoked that AI is in a place we have legitimate options available!

Hello!
meta: there seems to be a lot of... "spam"? in this thread?
I'm paranoid enough to have the thought that it's shills trying to use HN's "hotness" downranking against negative publicity...
... maybe I'm too paranoid, but it feels like this outage has a lot more totally useless comments than normal.
I mean, there are some egregious examples.
"oh noo", twice.
"Hello!", being another..
Along with one new account asking "which local LLM is better"... twice.
which local llm is best
its back for me!
oh noo
oh nooo
