This weekend, Notion’s collaboration with Anthropic encountered some issues.
On early Sunday morning, Notion announced that the Opus 4.7 and 4.8 models from Anthropic were facing decreased performance, leading to an increased number of failures for users using these models within Notion AI.
Consequently, Notion decided to disable the use of all Anthropic models in its automated productivity tool.
About twelve hours later, Max Schoening, Notion’s head of product, expressed his surprise at the number of people sharing the post, suggesting they wanted to attribute the issue to model quality. The post had been reshared approximately 1,200 times according to public statistics on X.
Schoening clarified that the degraded performance was merely a temporary service disruption, a common occurrence that affects services like Notion, GitHub, AWS, and others.
He also mentioned that Notion has reinstated access to Anthropic’s models.
An Anthropic spokesperson stated that a brief infrastructure issue had caused increased errors across multiple Claude models, but the problem has since been resolved. They expressed gratitude to their users for their patience during the service restoration process.
