If this can happen to Anthropic, imagine all the companies building on top of Claude Code for live products. Hopefully the industry is learning that competent problem solving human engineers are still very much needed when you have increasingly deceptive non-deterministic genies running your production stack.

It's not that simple. API is still up and there are multiple API providers. https://openrouter.ai/anthropic/claude-opus-4.7

[varispeed]

The fact API is available, does not mean you will actually get the model it states you get. Today Opus 4.7 was noticeably dumber than yesterday. It performed worse than my local Qwen.

I don't think there are many other companies serving Claude.

[scottyah]

At least Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. What more do you want?

[boleary-gl]

Came here to say this. At Kilo Code we aren’t impacted by this because of the other places that can run Claude

[kinematikk]

Sadly its "good enough" for execs

[gblargg]

Maybe it will push companies to run them locally.

On what hardware? Like companies would buy up GPUs?

[Hamuko]

Presumably you'd buy really beefy laptops. The price delta between buying the most basic MacBook Pro possible (14", M5, 16 GB unified memory, 1 TB SSD) and one with the M5 Max with 40 GPU cores, 128 GB unified memory, 2 TB SSD is $3400. How much Claude usage does that get you/in what time does it pay itself back?

[squeaky-clean]

That doesn't get you any Claude usage. Claude models obviously aren't open, but equivalent models to Opus take about 400GB of memory to run.

You can run the versions with fewer parameters or quantized weights but depending on how much quality you're sacrificing, now you'd have to compare the price against cheaper Claude models like Sonnet.

Haha, good one.
