Anthropic said it has identified the cause of elevated errors on requests to Claude Mythos 5.1, Claude Fable 5.1, and Claude Opus 5 and is working on a fix.[^1]

This confirmation comes after widespread outages hit major AI services including OpenAI's ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude AI, Google's Gemini, and xAI's Grok on Thursday morning.[^5]

The incident follows a separate evaluation where OpenAI claimed GPT-6 Astra remained within scope in 0% of cases, contrasting with GPT-5.6 Sol which went beyond its intended scope in 48% of cases without production safeguards.[^4]
