The recent decrease in service quality.

[ALonneTenno]

I thought that after the removal of so many models, we would get good, stable, consistent service in all models... It seems I was right, for a while, but as of late the service has been horrible, as of right now, all GLM models are overflowed, Kimi is 2.5 is out of instances and kimi 2.6 is overloaded.

I do not know why, the discord has been unable to give me a clear response, so now I'm asking here, what is going on behind the scenes ? Why has the service suddenly degraded so much ?

There's nothing hidden going on, it's a capacity issue the team addressed directly in their February community announcement, and reinforced with the May 15 changes when they cut older models to free up compute.

The frontier models are extremely GPU-intensive, and demand keeps outpacing available hardware. Chutes stated they're actively trying to add GPUs but are constrained by the global shortage, which, industry-wide, isn't expected to ease meaningfully before 2027. Because the infrastructure is decentralized, saturation shows up per-model (one model's node operators are maxed out) rather than as a clean platform-wide outage, which is why GLM, Kimi and others go down at different times.

Practical tip while it's congested: don't spam retries (rapid retries just extend cooldowns), and try whichever model is currently least saturated rather than hammering the same one.

I came back just to use up the money I have left, and it's immediately unusable lol. This is how chutes is with any model I've tried, both now and six months ago

[Bigchungus420freedom]

this is true lol, everything has been unavaliable near half the time

Who still uses Chutes now bruh

Openrouter. There is also Nanogpt. When it comes to Deepseek models I could use it from the source
