They mysteriously stopped working on my machine and the LEDs on the GPUs are blinking with a weird colour. There's also a strange smell emanating from them. I'm still investigating.
I assumed it was an AWS outage, and AWS is experiencing problems, but Gemini is also experiencing outages and I assume Google is not using AWS for Gemini.
But, also, Claude has been working fine for me all morning.
Not just these three. OP mentions also Cloudflare, and additionally Downdetector also has AWS, Azure, and Google (both search and Gemini) listed as having spikes about the same time: https://downdetector.com/
The problem with the down detector main reporting page is that all of the graphs are scaled to the same size. The OpenAI spike was nearly 40,000 and the Google spike was just over 100 (just over 400 for Gemini). They look the same in the reporting page.
Users perceiving the products as largely interchangeable and quickly DDoS'ing the other providers when one is down. So much for the possibility of a moat.
God finally showed up and said "ENOUGH!".
So Gemini was the one who gets into heaven.
Or purgatory, who knows.
Doomsday. 90 tokens to midnight.
Qwen3.8-27B and Qwen3.6-35B-A3B are working from my machine. Anyone else?

Good opportunity for a Natural Experiment to study the productivity impact of LLMs.
Cloud is just other peoples computers - they can and will go down as well.
And even worse if its just a few computers run by a few people - as they will bring down many others depending on them.

Time for Gemini 3.8 Flash to shine?!
It's much cheaper and has replaced Sonnet 5 for me.
do you notice it thinks a bit more ? not in time sense, but cautious in its coding steps ? more than Gemini 3.7 flash?
Claude Code seems totally fine for me.
Is this finally it?
One can only hope.
What's the single point of failure across providers?

The entire industry runs on IOUs for compute and bills paid in cloud credits, could be anywhere. Could of course also be a a plain old DDoS.
They all have to rely on each other's LLMs to solve their own internal problems now.
Both clause and codex through bedrock seem to be working fine.
It's probably Azure infra that's the problem.
and thats why boys and gals you buy own gpus
Cannot replicate.
Gemini seems fine.
opus 5.0 is down, other models are working fine
Good. Now to see what frauds are unable to work.
