Anthropic experiences major outage affecting Claude AI chatbot services
Claude, Anthropic’s generative artificial intelligence chatbot, has gone offline in a major outage affecting its global services.
Users can log in to the Claude interface, but the service does not respond to queries. Instead it returns a message saying: “A bit longer, thanks for your patience,” WTX News can confirm.
“Due to unexpected capacity constraints, Claude is unable to respond to your message. Please try again soon,” a further pop-up message, which appears after about three minutes, states.
San Francisco-based Anthropic said it was aware of the issue and is working on a fix.
Anthropic, founded in 2021 by former OpenAI employees, has established itself as a dominant player in the AI sector through its coding models.
The company reported an annualised revenue of $47 billion from selling its technology to people and companies using Claude.
On Monday, Anthropic announced that it had filed for a proposed initial public offering.
The move will determine whether Wall Street investors will match the hype around the technology boom.
The company was valued at $380 billion in February. It said it had submitted its draft registration to the US Securities and Exchange Commission for a proposed IPO of its common stock.
The move is one of a handful that could rewrite the history books for public listings.
Anthropic did not disclose the size or terms of its offering. The company last week said it had raised $65 billion in a Series H funding round that valued it at $965 billion.
Rival OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, is also preparing go public in the US in the coming weeks, Reuters reported.
Anthropic recently struck a deal with SpaceX for access to graphics processing unit capacity in its Colossus 1 and Colossus 2 AI supercomputers.
