Anthropic’s Claude AI appeared to experience an outage on Tuesday, according to online reports.
Users reported a spike in errors to Downdetector, with more than 2,000 reports as of 1:27 p.m. ET/10:27 a.m. PT. The number of reports dropped significantly pretty quickly as Anthropic implemented a fix. (Disclosure: Downdetector and CNET are owned by the same parent company, Ziff Davis.)
Anthropic’s status page reported the issue just before 1:30 p.m. ET, with the company saying it is investigating elevated errors affecting many models and across the Claude web interface, API, Claude Code and Claude Cowork. Later updates said the company had attempted to fix the issue and was monitoring results, but the company is still seeing issues with a couple of models.
CNET has reached out to Anthropic for details.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
