ChatGPT, a service provided by OpenAI, is still having problems. ChatGPT has gone through significant outages twice today, which briefly disrupted the service earlier today. Right now, a large number of users of the ChatGPT web service and mobile apps are not receiving answers to their inquiries.
“ChatGPT is not available for certain users,” the OpenAI status notice reads. “We are looking into this matter right now.” Around 10:30 AM ET, the second wave of problems began, with thousands of reports of problems appearing on Downdetector. Not just ChatGPT, AI tools Perplexity and Claude were also reported down at the same time. A status notice on Claude reads, “An error occurred in the Server Components render. The specific message is omitted in production builds to avoid leaking sensitive details. A digest property is included on this error instance which may provide additional details about the nature of the error.”
The last significant disruption to ChatGPT occurred in November, during which the service was unavailable for about 90 minutes and affected the API services offered by OpenAI. This most recent outage does not seem to be impacting the API. Later, OpenAI disclosed that a DDoS attack was the cause of the November outage.
Last month, a Microsoft outage also affected ChatGPT’s search capabilities and the company’s Copilot service.
In the past few weeks, OpenAI has signed partnerships with Apple, People Magazine Publishers, Financial Times and many more in a bit to create new AI products and improve its AI capabilities.
As of the time of reporting this, ChatGPT access has been restored.
