A comment on Claude Is Down.

My strategy: diversification. I run deepseek harness (which I made a vs code integration for and extended it a lot with plugins) and integrated it with my codex and claude subscriptions as well as an openrouter account. This way I can switch models and providers during my sessions and does not get blocked on such things.

Useful for - outages - running out of quota - failing agents e.g. because of "cyber" flaging

How long has this been working for you? (Or others).

Since Anthropic doesn't seem to like subscriptions being used in third party harness, do they actually enforce that nowadays?

https://github.com/micw/claude-wrapper-advanced I wrap their CLI ^^

Edit: CLI in headless mode is an official feature

For coding, I wouldn't use deepseek as a replacement. At least not for anything hard.

Except that DeepSeek Harness is very well done. It is not just the model.

Good diversification. I like to have a strong local model like qwen3.8-flash-next available because I live in the mountains and my Internet is not 100% reliable. I don’t get it that companies allow themselves to get locked in on one vendor. Two or more, with local makes more sense.
