Anthropic announced Wednesday that it has experienced an increased error rate in its Claude chatbot, application programming interface, and coding assistant Claude Code, according to the company’s status page. As of 1:50 PM ET, all systems are operational.
Anthropic said around 12:30 p.m. ET that the chatbot login success rate has been stable and that it is working to “resolve this issue once and for all.” The company began investigating the error at 10:53 a.m. ET, according to its status page.
Anthropic was founded in 2021 by a group of researchers and executives who defected from OpenAI and was valued at $380 billion as of February. The company is best known for developing a family of artificial intelligence models called Claude, and its products, particularly Claude Code, have exploded in popularity over the last year.
The startup found early success selling to large enterprises as companies spend billions of dollars implementing AI across their workforces. Anthropic is competing fiercely for enterprise market share with rivals such as: google OpenAI was valued at $850 billion in its latest funding round in late March.
Downdetector, a site that tracks user reports of Internet problems, had about 2,000 users reporting issues with Claude as of 1:12 p.m. ET, and about 6,000 as of 10:42 a.m. ET. By 1:34 p.m. ET, approximately 500 users had reported the issue.
