Anthropic published a detailed postmortem on three infrastructure bugs that degraded Claude's response quality between August and early September. The bugs went undetected longer than expected due to difficulty distinguishing them from normal output variation. Anthropic explicitly states they never throttle model quality based on demand or server load.
