Claude had a real outage today across Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5, Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1.
The nasty part: the models were still replying with normal text, so everything looked fine in the terminal.
But tool calls were failing silently.
Claude Code kept retrying the same blocked nd burned through 5-hour and weekly quotas on dead loops.
If your usage disappeared during the outage, this is probably why.

Tibo's global Codex resets are starting to feel like a trap.
You carefully manage your weekly quota, leave some usage in the tank for important work, and then a “free reset” wipes everything you saved and restarts the entire 7-day timer.
The higher your plan, the more you lose.
lans are getting punished the hardest for being careful.
Just give us banked resets.
Let us keep what we didn’t use instead of forcing everyone to burn or lose it.

Microsoft accidentally leaked gpt-6.1-terra inside a GitHub Copilot SDK eval config.
Look closely at lines 6–10 in this config:

• Line 7: judge_model: gpt-6.1-terra
• Line 10: executor: copilot-sdk (Microsoft’s internal staging router)
dy live inside Microsoft staging.

Microsoft engineers just leaked OpenAI's 'gpt-6.1-terra' by accident.
the official .NET EF Core repo has gpt-6.1-terra sitting in 18 evaluation configs.
17 of them were quietly upgraded from gpt-5.6-terra.

Stop falling for “GPT-6 Bel” posts.
It doesn’t exist.
OpenAI’s real GPT-6 lineup is Astra, Sol, and Luna.
“Bel” started as one August rumor about a 10T+ pretrain
Zero traces in any SDK, Codex, Azure, or OpenRouter.

Google AI Pro student crackdown just got worse.
• People with prepaid balances through 2027 only got ~$5 refunded the rest of their credit vanished
• Some are re-subscribing to the $4.99 student plan without re-verifying
• Half of those accounts are already getting flagged
ssing on the new student plans inside Antigravity
If your plan got wiped, check the refund amount and move fast before Google closes the door.

Devs testing `Ultra` mode on GPT-6 Astra and 6.1 Sol are seeing a massive drop in weekly quota drain with one catch
- Running Astra Ultra & 6.1 Sol Ultra used to burn 100% in a day, and now leaves 67%–90% remaining after 1–2 days
- The catch: several devs say the 111–206 tok/s speed boost is making Astra Light rush and make way more mistakes (requiring 2–3 retries unless you force High/Max)
Did your Codex quota drain finally slow down today, or is it making more mistakes at higher speeds??

Did your Codex quota drain finally slow down today, or is it making more mistakes at higher speeds??
Did OpenAI just silently flip a switch on GPT-6 Astra and 6.1 Sol inside Codex over the last few hours???
- Standard mode jumped from ~60 tok/s up to 111 tok/s on Astra and 127 tok/s on 6.1 Sol
- Fast mode is hitting 202 tok/s on Astra and 206 tok/s on 6.1 Sol
Are you seeing faster speeds and lower weekly drain on Codex today??

Google is mass-cancelling student AI Pro upgrades this morning and force-refunding them.
Students who used the official upgrade button (or stacked credits) to move from the free 1-year AI Plus plan to AI Pro are waking up to:
• Unrequested refunds
• AI Pro plan wiped
• lso gone
• Back on the free 15 GB tier
Some are already hitting Gmail limits because their storage just vanished overnight.
Support is telling people the cancelled student promos can’t be restored.
Did your plan survive the purge?

Holy shit.
Moonshot just admitted they had to nerf Kimi K3.1 Pro’s hacking ability before releasing the open weights.
An uncleaned checkpoint hit 90.5% on real kernel and Node.js exploits.
After scrubbing the data, it still scores 81%.
Open weights drop November 4.

Yesterday was my last day at Anthropic.
I created Claude Code on desktop because I believe everyone can be a builder. Every feature request and bug report we got from this community was a gift that impacted millions of lives. I’m eternally grateful for those gifts, the product wouldn’t be what it is without you.
Anthropic is doing some of the most important work of our time. Contributing to that mission will forever be a career highlight for me. I never imagined I’d get to contribute to something so special in my lifetime.
Walking away from my best friends, a product I poured my heart into, and the mission was the hardest thing I’ve done in my career. But now I have some free time for GTA VI.
I'm already itching to get back to addressing all your feedback. I'll share what's next soon!
