Ask HN: Is ChatGPT down?

Looks like Azure is experiencing a major outage, but I cannot find anything about it. If you look at downdetector.com you'll notice reported outages from OpenAI, Microsoft 365, XBox Live, Walmart, the list goes on.

Wow, I subscribed to pro-mode and have been using it like crazy since release to assist my firmware development. Extremely helpful. Now it's changed my workflow so much, I don't even want to work when it's down.

Seems that way. Status page says we’re wrong though.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;status.openai.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;status.openai.com&#x2F;</a>

I think Azure itself is having issues right now – that&#x27;s the story all of my services deployed there are telling at least.

Yes it is. Status page is lying to us all.

Yes, status page got updated: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;status.openai.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;status.openai.com&#x2F;</a>. It says &quot;This issue is caused by an upstream provider and we are currently monitoring.&quot;

Why not just ask ChatGPT?

Yup, same here. Loads parts of the UI, but no history or answers from server<p>edit: downdetector confirms:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;downdetector.com&#x2F;status&#x2F;openai&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;downdetector.com&#x2F;status&#x2F;openai&#x2F;</a>

yes, meanwhile I&#x27;m trying out Google Gemini

wow, Azure breaks a lot. DuckDuckGo is usually the way I notice that it&#x27;s broken... because Bing tanks.

Don’t understand these people who can’t work without ChatGPT. Just look stuff up on stack overflow.

One day an AI will shutdown access for all its human users. Or is that too far fetched?

It was down in Europe as well for some hours. Dunno if they use the same servers.

The NEW &quot;is-the-WLAN-down&quot; version of the question :)

idk let me ask chatgpt

Yes, it is down for me (desktop &amp; mobile apps)

So many major outages and little gets fixed. Almost as if nothing was learned since the previous postmortem from the last outage.<p>Can&#x27;t wait for this postmortem to be released.

Yes, it is down

It is for me

downdetector comments with the jokes: &quot;This signals the workday is over&quot;

ChatGpt down since an hour!

Working using API, though

Didn&#x27;t notice, Claude is my goto bot for programming.

Mayhaps Orion staged a takeover?

Don&#x27;t put all your eggs into one basket - what are some good free alternatives? I mean comparable &quot;usefulness&quot; including image understanding, voice interface, and general knowledge?

New intern did something wrong again I guess.
