Signup for Alerts from Anthropic & OpenAI

Something I highly recommend...

Signup to receive alerts directly from Anthropic (Claude Sonnet, Haiku, Opus) and OpenAI (ChatGPT).

(I'd also bookmark https://status.claude.com and https://status.openai.com)

For instance, there was a "Major outage" effecting Anthropic that lasted just over an hour the other day. Effected Haiku 4.5 - the LLM many of us have moved to.

Before posting something like "Assistable down? Assistable isn't doing XYZ correctly", sometimes its because the actual LLM models that basically power everything were down or experiencing intermittent outages.

Getting notifications also can help you be proactive with your own clients. You could shoot off a quick email "Hey, one of the major AI providers, Anthropic (maybe you've heard of Claude or Claude Code), is experiencing a major outage. It's possible some of your chats will be experiencing less then ideal responses while they get this fixed. These outages do occur, although usually they do not last very long."

Anyways, I mentioned getting notifications directly from the LLM providers the other day on the Wed Workshop call and thought I'd reiterate it here.

Have a great weekend ya'll!
