The ChatGPT outage has caused widespread disruption, with users taking to social media to express their frustration and disappointment. OpenAI is working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, but no timeline has been given.
ChatGPT, the popular AI chatbot, has gone down globally, leaving millions of users unable to access its services. The outage, which began around 7 PM ET (5:30 am IST), has also affected OpenAI’s API and Sora services. Users attempting to log in are being met with a message stating that “ChatGPT is currently unavailable”. However, OpenAI has assured that the issue has been identified and a fix is being worked on.
In a statement on X, OpenAI apologized for the inconvenience and promised to keep users updated on the status of the outage. This is the second major outage in recent days, following a disruption to Meta’s platforms, including WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook, which affected thousands of users worldwide.
We’re experiencing an outage right now. We have identified the issue and are working to roll out a fix.
Sorry and we’ll keep you updated!
