Has anyone in the DSpace community/tech seen a large spike in queries for Anthropic’s ClaudeBot?

User Agent: compatible; "ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot\@anthropic.com"

Here is some other references lately:


We have been getting hit hard for a couple days now.

Best regards,

James

Yes, pretty aggressively, Stats for today:
78575 Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +clau...@anthropic.com)
Googlebot is the next in the top crawlers with decent 5500 requests.
But I've seen worse load.

Yes,

not only  Anthropic’s ClaudeBot  but also some (or many)  IA bots are "collapsing" the repositories system,  we have even noticed  a huge increase in traffic from Google bots.🙁  Many installations  (large and small, without no discrimination) are experiencing downtimes for these reasons.

 

Hard days...
