After reaching the top of the App Store, Claude's error rate has increased, and Anthropic claims to be urgently responding to the "amazing demand."

Notice, local time on Monday, the artificial intelligence model Claude of Anthropic company showed an "increase in error rate" phenomenon, while its application remained at the top of the Apple App Store free app download list. The status website of Claude showed that its latest model Claude Opus 4.6, released last month, had a "decrease in performance" issue. In an update at 10:49 a.m. Eastern Time, the website stated that the problem with Opus 4.6 had been confirmed and a solution was being developed. At 10:47 a.m. Eastern Time, the website update indicated that the issues with the claude.ai website, dashboard, and Claude's code had been resolved. Anthropic stated before 11 a.m. Eastern Time, "Claude has been restored and is running in claude.ai and our applications. The team is working hard to meet the incredible demand we've seen for Claude recently, and we thank users for their support." Previously, due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. Department of Defense on the agency's use of Anthropic technology, relations between the two parties deteriorated, but the popularity of this AI chat app surged as a result. In July, Anthropic signed a $200 million contract with the U.S. Department of Defense. After Anthropic requested the government to ensure that its AI models were not used for fully autonomous weapons or for large-scale domestic surveillance of the American people, tensions between the two parties escalated. The Pentagon countered this, requesting permission for the military to use the platform for any lawful purpose. Last Friday, U.S. President Trump ordered all U.S. government agencies to "immediately stop" using Anthropic's technology. Shortly after, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on X platform that the Pentagon would label the company as a "supply chain risk to national security." Several hours after the U.S. government cut ties with Anthropic, its AI competitor OpenAI reached an agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense.
