I didn't even know they had a status page. Claude (with pro subscription) is often so unreliable with regards to connectivity and performance that I'm looking for something more predictable.

It randomly fails halfway through a response, sometimes very slow to start, hangs for long periods during a response, and so on.

The Claude chat interface can also slow down with long sessions. I sometimes use Claude code which is better, but I'm not a huge fan of terminal interfaces. I'm aware of third party frontends, but I believe those require api access which I don't like for personal use.

Try Gemini to see how bad it can really get. Most of the time 2.5 pro requests fail for unknown reasons over the App. Claude and Chatgpt are way more reliable.

It almost never fails via AI Studio though. Also I doubt fails you see really have anything to do with LLM itself, capacity or backend.

It's just Google own UIs and apps are almost comically bad.

I use Gemini over web app and mobile app. Both are very unreliable. Anthropic and openai don't have more resources than google but still get it right most of the time - the quality of product development is not even in a similar league

Gemini is much much better using AI studio though.

And no, Claude sucks ass. It's like Anthropic does not want to make money. For a company that's targeting enterprise customers, they are totally unprepared. Like forget customer support, they can't even sell properly. They brag about insane capabilities on the Max plan but good luck trying to buy that on a team plan with company billing.

Even if OpenAI doesn't have the best model, at least they know what to do to make money.
