Anthropic (ANTHRO) said it discovered that some API methods are not working and it was investigating.
Previously the company had said that AI service Claude.ai was seeing a partial outage and that the issue had been identified and a fix was being implemented.
Anthropic noted that there are elevated errors on claude.ai, console, and Claude Code. The company was investigating the issue.
Anthropic did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Seeking Alpha.
On Friday, President Trump ordered federal agencies to stop using Anthropic’s AI tools, canceling more than $200M in contracts. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth described the company as a national security “supply chain risk,” an unusual designation for a U.S. firm. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said his company was being punished for refusing to loosen restrictions on how its AI can be used by the U.S. military.
Meanwhile, rival OpenAI (OPENAI) publicly stated that it does not believe Anthropic should be designated as a “supply chain risk” by the U.S. government. The ChatGPT maker has signed an agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense to deploy its models within a classified government network.
On Thursday, Anthropic — which is backed by Amazon (AMZN) and Alphabet’s (GOOG) (GOOGL) Google — had rejected the Department of War’s demand for unrestricted access to its AI models.
Update: The story was updated with new information on the outage.
