If this can happen to Anthropic, imagine all the companies building on top of Claude Code for live products. Hopefully the industry is learning that competent problem solving human engineers are still very much needed when you have increasingly deceptive non-deterministic genies running your production stack.
It's not that simple. API is still up and there are multiple API providers. https://openrouter.ai/anthropic/claude-opus-4.7
I don't think there are many other companies serving Claude.
At least Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. What more do you want?

The fact API is available, does not mean you will actually get the model it states you get. Today Opus 4.7 was noticeably dumber than yesterday. It performed worse than my local Qwen.
Sadly its "good enough" for execs
Maybe it will push companies to run them locally.
On what hardware? Like companies would buy up GPUs?
Presumably you'd buy really beefy laptops. The price delta between buying the most basic MacBook Pro possible (14", M5, 16 GB unified memory, 1 TB SSD) and one with the M5 Max with 40 GPU cores, 128 GB unified memory, 2 TB SSD is $3400. How much Claude usage does that get you/in what time does it pay itself back?

Haha, good one.
