Claude, the AI chatbot developed by Anthropic, has experienced a significant outage impacting its global services. Users can access the interface but the service fails to respond, displaying a message saying 'A bit longer, thanks for your patience.'
Anthropic has acknowledged the problem and is actively working on a solution. The issues began to surge unexpectedly around midday, with reports from users escalating from nearly zero to hundreds within minutes.
The problems appear to be affecting users universally, with approximately 62% unable to access the main website interface. A substantial number of complaints are also originating from people attempting to utilize the desktop application.
Anthropic's engineering team has identified the issue and is implementing fixes to restore the servers to normal operation. However, the company has not provided a specific timeline for when full service will be reinstated.
