Read it at the original source: ## Community take How the wider developer community reacted, aggregated from 1 discussion and 119 comments across hackernews (as of 2026-07-27). **TL;DR:** The community is largely critical of Anthropic's frequent outages and conservative compute strategy, contrasting it unfavorably with OpenAI's more aggressive infrastructure investment; there's also debate about whether users deserve compensation for downtime. **Sentiment:** 10% positive · 40% mixed · 50% skeptical **The case for** - LLMs are becoming a commodity, making it easy to fall back to alternative providers like OpenRouter or Kimi during outages. - OpenAI's aggressive compute purchasing, once seen as reckless, now looks strategically sound. **The pushback** - Anthropic's conservative compute allocation has left it with significantly less capacity than OpenAI, leading to frequent outages and no usage-quota resets after downtime. - Anthropic is seen as making unforced tactical errors, including anti-open-weights stances and frequent model downgrades for 'safety'. - OpenAI is perceived to have stronger engineering culture and infrastructure reliability (e.g., Codex 99.98% uptime vs Claude Code 99.44%). - Dario's bet on compute patience appears to have backfired as demand far outstrips Anthropic's supply. **By community** - hackernews (skeptical): Commenters are broadly critical of Anthropic's compute conservatism and reliability compared to OpenAI, with side debates about whether outage compensation is reasonable. **Hottest debate:** Whether consumers are entitled to meaningful compensation (e.g., a free week/day) for even a brief outage, or whether a prorated refund for the downtime period is already beyond what's contractually owed. **Open questions** - Will Anthropic's compute disadvantage relative to OpenAI become a permanent structural problem or can it be closed? - At what point does heavy reliance on AI coding tools as SaaS create unacceptable productivity risk during outages? **Highlights** > If you watch the Dwarkesh interview with Dario, he is extremely conservative with compute allocation as of early 2026, where Sam has been compute-pilled for at least 3 years[1] and believes that we’re going to have several OOMs more FLOPs in the near future than we have today. You can also get a drift of it in their announcements - OpenAI has been far more aggressive in datacenter build-out partnerships as a more top-down allocation strategy since 2024, and Anthropic has rented out existing compute from infrastructure-heavy companies that are losing the model race in what seems like a more desperate ad-hoc compute acquisition strategy. In all, Dario’s conservatism was in service of not going bankrupt, but any inspection of his argument that an overallocation of compute a year too early results in bankruptcy falls flat: there’s so much demand for mechanized intelligence in the world today that it’s easy to rent out compute if you have too great a supply.

I don’t think Codex’s 99.98% uptime vs Claude Code’s 99.44%, is just due to OAI having more hardware to run it on. https://status.openai.com/ https://status.claude.com/ > — [smoe on hackernews · 2 comments](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49057071) > Anthropic being very conservative about purchasing compute was a core theme of Dario's spot at NYT Dealbook in December[1]. At the time, he cast it as being wise and waiting to see where the chips fall. I'd say he might be regretting that position a bit now.

This is the definition of inflated self importance! Your contract doesn't have an SLA. If you are important enough, you can certainly negotiate one - and it will be far more expensive than your prosumer subscription. And even then you will not get a 1:168 or 1:720 SLA like you are expecting - that's simply ludicrous and totally out of touch with every reality. Even if you were a lucrative enterprise customer (which you are not) they'd tell you to get lost. > If there is a hole in the street and you fall down it, you wouldn't expect a refund just for the 1 second Actually, you wouldn't get a refund at all unless you suffer damage or injury, which is an high bar to prove in court and a totally separate ball game. > — [solenoid0937 on hackernews · 1 comments](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49057402) **Source threads** - [hackernews](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49056194) · 55 points · 119 comments ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Elevated errors across all models](https://daily.dev/posts/elevated-errors-across-all-models-3mi2ggutm) · Hacker News · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Elevated errors across many models](https://daily.dev/posts/elevated-errors-across-many-models-cfslnaeis) · Hacker News · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Claude is down as Anthropic investigates errors across its services](https://daily.dev/posts/claude-is-down-as-anthropic-investigates-errors-across-its-services-pz5pffz7s) · The Next Web · 13 upvotes · 0 comments - [Elevated errors on claude.ai](https://daily.dev/posts/elevated-errors-on-claude-ai-vhqvkkacs) · Hacker News · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#claude](https://daily.dev/tags/claude) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/elevated-errors-for-opus-5-lluocppkd) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Elevated errors for Opus 5","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/elevated-errors-for-opus-5-lluocppkd","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/elevated-errors-for-opus-5-lluocppkd"},"datePublished":"2026-07-26T11:19:03.929Z","dateModified":"2026-07-27T19:07:47.064Z","description":"Anthropic's Claude status page is reporting elevated errors for the Opus 5 model.
