Amusing experience here when the outage hit, all the following verbatim (but extraneous text stripped/redacted) from my running Claude session:
> No agents are running; the three that were died on server-side errors
> Agent "[REDACTED]" failed: Agent terminated early due to an API error
> Fourth straggler from the same batch, same 529 ... That's all of them now — no agents left running.
> Agent "[REDACTED]" failed: Agent terminated early due to an API error
> Fifth and last straggler, [REDACTED], same 529, also died while still reading. ... That empties the queue. Still holding.
> Agent "[REDACTED]" failed: Agent stalled: no progress for 600s
> Sixth, [REDACTED] — stalled on the stream watchdog rather than a clean 529, same root cause. ... Six agents down, all from the outage. Nothing running. Still holding.
> Agent "[REDACTED]" failed: Agent stalled: no progress for 600s
> Seventh, [REDACTED], same stall. ... That accounts for the whole fan-out.
Does it, Claude? Does it actually account for the whole fan-out? It did, but I was still amused at the 4 successive no-more-agents messages I got back.

The whole Opus family has exactly the same cost structure [1]. Since Opus 5 is smarter, you can use lower effort levels (= less tokens) making it cheaper to run than 4.8.

I'm sure it's a common thing to complain about the latest model being nerfed, but I've legitimately never experienced such a drastic cliff in Claude's quality and a rise in its hallucinations and basic comprehension errors since upgrading. The few days I experimented with Fable also weren't much more promising. Has anyone coined a term yet for the likelihood of newer models getting worse as the AI-generated content they get trained on starts to approach critical mass? If Anthropic isn't already thinking hard about a solution, they probably should be.
