Upstream provider is unavailable, please try again later.

WhatMatters

Not a bug really, but I would like to hear a clarification on what exactly
"Upstream provider is unavailable, please try again later."
message during the AI dialogue means. I know it's probably a timeout of sorts, but... upstream provider?

Just a clarification on what is considered upstream.

WhatMatters Just to make sure, did you just want a clarification in thread or a clarification on the error message?

Google Cloud was down yesterday, and they were apparently hosting a bunch of LLMs, along with many other services.

"Upstream provider" would refer to Anthropic, OpenAI, etc. If we receive any kind of unhandled error from them, this error will show up. A timeout will present a different error. "We are sorry, the request to upstream provider timed out..."

RoxyRoxyRoxy Just wanted a clarification here, not in the dialogue itself.
For some reason I was thinking Kagi themselves were running an independent (from Anthropic) instance of Claude and that got me wondering if that wasn't the case.
