Update 3 (8:30 AM PT): Anthropic reports that all Claude services are back online and operating normally. The team is continuing to monitor systems to ensure stability.
Update 2 (8:03 AM PT): Anthropic has successfully mitigated the initial outage, restoring functionality to most existing chats. But a second issue is blocking users from signing in, starting new chats, initiating voice conversations, using Claude Code or Cowork, uploading files, or making purchases. If you are currently logged in, Anthropic advises not to sign out. The company is actively working on a fix and expects to provide another update within 30 minutes.
Update (7:45 AM PT): Anthropic says it has “applied a mitigation and error rates have dropped substantially. However, some “sign-in attempts, account actions and Claude Code and Cowork sessions are still failing. We are continuing to work on a full fix.”
The original story continues below.
If you are struggling to get a response out of Claude today, you are not alone. Anthropic has confirmed that its suite of AI tools is currently experiencing elevated error rates across virtually all of its services.
Anthropic has confirmed that it is investigating degraded performance and elevated error rates across Claude.ai (desktop and mobile apps), platform.claude.com, the Claude API, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork.
If you are trying to use Claude right now, you might encounter a few different errors, including failed requests when sending messages or triggering prompts, authentication or login hiccups, loading failures where past conversation fail to display altogether, or API timeouts.
Anthropic notes that the issues are intermittent, meaning that retrying your request may occasionally succeed.
Anthropic engineers are actively investigating the root cause across all impacted platforms. While some requests may still go through intermittently with a retry, overall reliability remains severely degraded.
If your stack relies on the Claude API or you are trying to get work done on Claude.ai, expect delays until the team rolls out a patch. We will continue monitoring the situation and update this post as Anthropic shares more details.
Did you think hitting delete on your AI chatbot conversation actually makes it disappear? Georgia Tech researchers just proved that's not entirely true. They have built a forensic tool called ORISA that can dig deleted conversations from your phone and even rebuild them into a working chatbot session you can keep talking to.
How can ORISA bring deleted AI conversations back?
Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.
The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
Two residents of Chicago have filed a lawsuit in the US over claims that robots run by Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics captured their facial and hand measurements without consent, bringing renewed attention to the food delivery robots. The cases raise a troubling question: If a robot delivers food to your door, can it also be gathering sensitive information about you?
According to a report by The Associated Press, the proposed class-action lawsuits were filed in Cook County on Oct. 9 and allege violations of Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act. The complaints claim that the robots’ cameras and LiDAR sensors captured information on customers’ faces and hands as they approached the machines to pick up their orders. Both have denied the allegations.
