I’m pretty surprised that Anthropic can directly impact the infra for AWS Bedrock as this article suggests. That goes against AWSs commitments. I’m sure the same is true for Google Vertex but I haven’t digged in there from a compliance perspective before.

Ok makes sense and glad to hear

> It remains particularly helpful for users to continue to send us their feedback directly. You can use the /bug command in Claude Code

Ok makes sense and I’d expect that a human can then see the context in that case although I hope it is still very explicit to the end user (I’m not a Claude Code user so I cannot comment)

This is pretty concerning. I can’t imagine the average person equates hitting this button with forfeiting their privacy.

We don't directly manage AWS Bedrock deployments today, those are managed by AWS.

We specify

in the thumbs down modal. Is there a straightforward way to improve this copy?

Sounds fine to me. I'm assuming it wasn't obvious to readers that there was a confirmation message that appears when thumbs down is clicked.

Yes, I don't use Claude so I wasn't aware. I'm glad to hear it sounds like it is conspicuous.

That was my understanding before this article. But the article is pretty clear that these were "infrastructure bugs" and the one related to AWS Bedrock specifically says it was because "requests were misrouted to servers". If Anthropic doesn't manage the AWS Bedrock deployments, how could it be impacting the load balancer?

The load balancer container is provided to Bedrock, since it's part of our overall LLM serving system, but they run it.

When you click "thumbs down" you get the message "Submitting this report will send the entire current conversation to Anthropic for future improvements to our models." before you submit the report, I'd consider that pretty explicit.

Great to hear. I'm not a Claude user and the article did not make it seem that way.
