"Many of these companies don't even have an external API! And yet, they're all building MCP servers."

Whether or not MCP is a temporary means to an end or a more permanent standard is kind of missing the point that the overall callable API surface is expanding rapidly. How it's called by the agent is an implementation detail.

At least up until recently the 1M model was separated into /model opus[1M]

The partition should (in theory) be exactly as the distribution expects on every computer it’s installed to, which limits the potential for user changes breaking anything. The benefit to the user is that it’s a lot harder to shoot yourself in the foot by running the wrong script.

In today's outage and the last the API stopped and kicked the session out.

I only mention this in case someone from Anthropic perhaps isn't aware that it seems to be a wider issue than login/logout (although I'm sure they are!)

Is it just me?
