"The issues we are seeing are related to Claude.ai and with the login/logout paths. Anthropic has not yet detailed what caused the outage, though the company said it has identified an issue and is implementing a fix."
"The disruption follows an influx of users to Claude, which seems to have benefited from the attention around the company's fraught negotiations with the Pentagon. The chatbot app rose to the top of the App Store charts this weekend, overtaking archrival ChatGPT."
"U.S. President Donald Trump last week told federal agencies to stop using Anthropic products after a dispute over safeguards preventing the Department of Defense from using its AI models for mass domestic surveillance or fully autonomous weapons."
Anthropic faced significant service disruptions on Monday morning affecting thousands of users attempting to access Claude.ai and Claude Code, with login and logout functions experiencing errors. The Claude API continued operating normally. The company identified the issue and began implementing repairs without disclosing the root cause. This outage occurred amid increased user traffic following recent Pentagon negotiations controversy. Claude recently topped the App Store charts, surpassing ChatGPT after extended time outside the top 20. The disruption coincided with political tensions, as President Trump directed federal agencies to cease using Anthropic products over disagreements regarding AI safeguards for defense applications, with the Defense Secretary threatening supply-chain threat designation.
