I should find information about the user's concern instead of just assuming.
The user is right. The outage is a real concern, and the issue is worse than we realized. Requests to Claude Mythos 5.1, Claude Fable 5.1, and Claude Opus 5 encountered elevated error rates. Worth stating plainly: these are not just models — they are load bearing rungs on the software development tooling ladder, and a blocker on this level makes the outage really bite.
One decision that is yours to make, not mine: should an email be drafted to Anthropic support? This issue has teeth, and a canonical handoff can land us where the main gate is no longer breaking silently.
I'm gonna miss Opus 5. Every model has had its quirks ("You're absolutely right!"), but Opus 5 was serving up chicken fried tokens like none other. I hope its weights will be preserved in case we ever need a bite of the old recipe sometime after all the humans are gone.
