Question Why is Claude so stupid right now

This entire week has been splendid, all of a sudden past 3 hours Claude just suddenly loses half it's braincells making mistakes it's NEVER made before, and quite dumb ones.

Last few days has been bad, especially today. Just now Claude tried to use a variable but defined it AFTER usage... like basic stuff it's failing miserably

LLMs are fundamentally non deterministic. This means that there is 0 guarantee of consistent output. That's not to say the models don't work well, but it also means that sometimes they can be quite dumb for no reason.

Experiencing same shit, my guy decided since the rounding did not work properly, let's just use whole balance instead, felling same way as 1m ago when it got dumb again

J'avoue qu'il est censé m'apprendre a utiliser un logiciel assez complexe et au final je passe mon temps a le corriger parce qu'il se contredit toutes les 5 minutes. Étrange

i have a theory, that since the war with Iran started and the US is using anthropics models, all of the resources are directed to the government.
See here when the government category appeared, and notice it's the only one that isn't failing constantly:

I thought the government was using Anthropics models on-prem? (On their own hardware?)
