Whenever Anthropic is down, I switch to my other alternative AI provider. If that is also unavailable, or no more tokens left, then I can switch to my local AI. Not the same in terms of quality and speed, but good enough for an experienced engineer to still be more productive than falling back to doing it by hand. For my principal activity I do not want to be dependent on a sole provider. Besides that, I expect that the pending token price increases are going to hurt a lot of people/companies.
