Notion’s integration with Anthropic apparently ran into trouble this weekend.
Early on Sunday morning, the company aware“Anthropic’s Opus 4.7 and 4.8 models are experiencing degraded performance, which is causing an increased failure rate for users who select these models in Notion AI.”
As a result, Notion said it was disabling the use of “all Anthropic models” in its automated productivity tool.
Twelve hours later, Notion product manager Max Schoening wrote that he was “astonished” by “the number of people who RT because they want the reason to be a story about the quality of the model.” (According to X’s public stats, Notion’s post has been reposted about 1,200 times.)
“The degraded performance was a temporary service interruption,” Schoening said. “This happens. It happens to Notion, GitHub, AWS, OpenClaw, and everything else.”
He added that Notion has restored access to Anthropic’s models.
Meanwhile, an Anthropic spokesperson said in a statement: “A brief infrastructure issue caused elevated errors on multiple Claude models over a short period of time. The issue has now been resolved. We thank our users for their patience while we worked to restore service.”
