Notion restores access to Anthropic after service disruption
Notion briefly disabled Anthropic AI models due to a temporary service disruption that caused degraded performance. Access has since been restored, and both companies confirmed the issue was resolved.
Notion temporarily disabled the use of all Anthropic AI models in its productivity tool this weekend following a period of degraded performance. Users experienced a higher rate of failures when selecting Anthropic's Opus 4.7 and 4.8 models.
The company initially announced the issue early Sunday morning, attributing it to the degraded performance of Anthropic models. The decision was made to disable these models to prevent further disruption to users.
Max Schoening, Notion's head of product, later clarified that the degraded performance was due to a temporary service disruption, not an issue with model quality. He emphasized that such disruptions are common across various platforms and services.
Anthropic confirmed the incident, stating that a brief infrastructure issue caused elevated errors on multiple Claude models for a short period. Both Notion and Anthropic have since announced that the issue has been resolved and access to Anthropic's models on Notion has been restored.
