Was the friendli API down on July 31, 2026?
Yes, measured. 5 outage(s) attributed to friendli: host probes failed from up to 4 of 4 regions at once while no other provider was failing, first at 10:34 UTC, at least 58 minutes observed in total. At least once friendli’s own host answered with an HTTP 5xx.

Was the Claude API (Anthropic) down on July 31, 2026?
Not by our measurements. No failure of Anthropic was seen from two or more regions at once. Anthropic’s own status page opened 1 entry that day (self-reported, listed below).
Self-reported on Anthropic’s status page, not verified by our probes:
- minor Degraded performance on Claude Sonnet 5 · resolved Jul 31, 07:04 UTC

Was the Gemini API (Google) down on July 31, 2026?
Not attributably. 2 multi-region failure(s) of Google coincided with failures of other providers, so the cause sat above Google and is not blamed on it.
| UTC | What failed | Regions | Duration | Failed probes | Verdict | Error |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14:47–14:54 | requests to gemini-flash-lite-latest | 2 of 4: Asia (Tokyo), South America (São Paulo) | ≥7 min | 2 | shared with 1 other provider(s) — not attributed | The read operation timed out |
| 15:12–15:19 | requests to gemini-flash-lite-latest | 2 of 4: Asia (Tokyo), South America (São Paulo) | ≥7 min | 2 | shared with 1 other provider(s) — not attributed | The read operation timed out |

Was the baseten API down on July 31, 2026?
Not by our measurements. No failure of baseten was seen from two or more regions at once. baseten’s own status page opened 2 entries that day (self-reported, listed below).
Self-reported on baseten’s status page, not verified by our probes:
- minor Slower than usual scale-ups for B200s · resolved Jul 31, 16:58 UTC
- minor Elevated inference 502s for a subset of models in a single US cluster · resolved Aug 1, 00:20 UTC

49 single-region failure(s) were also recorded that day (yi-01ai 14, google 11, friendli 11, stepfun 2, novita 1, writer 1, sensenova 1, aleph-alpha 1, glm 1, doubao 1). A failure seen from one region cannot be separated from a problem on that network path, so none of them is called an outage.
How is an outage told apart from a network problem?
Each provider is probed every five minutes from 4 independent regions. A failure is attributed to the provider only when it is seen from two or more regions at once and no other provider fails in the same minutes; a failure shared with other providers has a cause above all of them and is not blamed on anyone. Durations are lower bounds: we see the first and last failed probe, not the real start and end. Status-page entries are the provider’s own words, shown next to the measurement, not instead of it.
