Since the latest update (past weekend), responses longer than a paragraph often fail to fully execute, resulting in a "There was an error generating a response" message + the Regenerate button.<p>Seems to happen pretty much every time when I ask for code or the code executor starts.<p>Does ChatGPT4 still work for you?
Slightly OT as it's about API not web app, but I think related to the fact that they switch out models without informing people pretty often, and I think do a fair amount of A/B testing -- so it's very "black box" from a user perspective still.<p>Since a few weeks ago, the API is just completely ignoring my system prompt. I have things like "never apologise" and "always assume the user has already consulted with competent authorities and other sources. Do not give advice not directly asked for." and "be succinct and do not repeat parts of the question in your answer". and "Do not use phrases like "it is essential to note" or "it is important" to try cut through its BS hedging.<p>This used to work great. Now I just get the same responses as if I hadn't put a system prompt in at all
Seems like they've traded the recent full-on system-wide outages for distributed intermittent failures. IMO they've rolled the updates out before they were fully ready. This is what happens when you use ChatGPT to write your scripts!
I am not even sure I am on GPT4 turbo, it streams even slower than before on GPT4.<p>I have the new interface and GPTs, but its slower than ever.<p>Even late last night, it was markedly slower than a couple weeks ago.
Have been getting the regenerate message a lot past week but regenerating has worked and other times fine. So certainly not broken for me at all and I’m sure if it were for everyone would be headline news, but definitely seems like some growing pains since launching the updated model.
It does work but it’s much slower, when we are discussing code it’s started trying to execute it, which has failed every single time so far (not because the code is wrong but due to operational issues like timeouts), very annoying
Also had the "There was an error generating a response" message once, but a retry solved that. It's extremely slow for me right now though. Quite frustrating to use.
It's slow as heck for me this morning.<p>Also, asking the usual questions frequently gets it stuck in "Searching Bing for this answer" or something similar, but not 100% of the time.
It appears that OpenAI, just like GitHub is struggling for uptime and resiliency and cannot handle Google's scale.<p>Lots of strange comparisons and claims towards replacing search engines which given the tons of outages is far from that.<p>Had ChatGPT not been behind a login wall, the inference costs and outages would only skyrocket.
Yeah. It was down last Thursday for me. Couldn't generate anything. It started working after a day but has been slow ever since. The update definitely took a toll on the performance.
It might actually be your ISP's peering with Cloudflare (looking at you, Deutsche Telekom). Try connecting through any VPN and see if it's faster.
