Claude AI Faces Global Outage After Anthropic’s Mythos Preview Reveal Services powered by Anthropic’s Claude AI experienced a widespread disruption on Tuesday, leaving users across regions unable to access key tools including Claude Chat, Claude Code, and the mobile application. The outage surfaced shortly after the company unveiled its latest artificial intelligence model, Claude Mythos Preview, sparking speculation about a possible connection between the announcement and the service instability. According to outage-tracking platform Downdetector, reports of issues began rising rapidly, with the disruption peaking at approximately 12:30 PM IST in India. At that point, nearly 491 users had flagged problems with accessing Claude’s services. Anthropic officially acknowledged the outage earlier at 06:23 UTC (11:53 AM IST), stating that it was investigating the issue. In a subsequent update at 07:59 UTC (1:29 PM IST), the company confirmed that the root cause had been identified and that a fix was actively being rolled out. The timing of the outage drew attention as it came just hours after Anthropic introduced Claude Mythos Preview, its most advanced AI model to date. The company claims the new model surpasses its previous flagship, Claude Opus 4.6, as well as competing systems like Gemini 3.1 across multiple performance benchmarks. Highlighting its potential, Anthropic revealed that Mythos was capable of identifying thousands of cybersecurity vulnerabilities across applications and operating systems—many of which had reportedly gone undetected by human reviewers. To further strengthen its rollout, Anthropic noted that it is collaborating with over 40 technology companies to test Mythos and address identified vulnerabilities before a broader public release.#anthropic #claude_ai #claude_code #claude_chat #mythos_preview
