Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, available as a web and desktop app, through the API, and inside tools like Claude Code. Outages typically surface as messages failing mid-stream, a spinning cursor that never resolves, or capacity errors during peak hours. Anthropic reports API and chat availability separately, so one can degrade while the other stays healthy.
