BleepingComputer reports that AI company OpenAI has suffered a major outage today affecting several of the company’s AI services, including AI chatbot ChatGPT and AI video generator Sora.
Though you can still access ChatGPT, it currently takes an unusually long time to respond and may end up responding with error messages. Similar issues with error rates and increased latency are affecting Sora and OpenAI’s API, which could affect third-party services.
According to Downdetector, thousands of users have been reporting outages, and the rate of reports hasn’t slowed as of this writing. It’s happening for users worldwide across web, mobile, and desktop apps.
According to OpenAI’s status tracker, the problem was first acknowledged at 2:36 AM this morning, and the issue is now marked as “Identified” with the company “still working on implementing the mitigation for this issue.” It’s unclear how long the fix could take.
