ChatGPT is down – The Verge

ChatGPT is not working for many users right now. With several reports on social media, we also confirmed that the chatbot loads but is unable to respond to queries, while others see an “internal server error” message.

It appears that the power outage started around 1:30 PM ET, which is when the reports began tip on the Down Detector. Around 2:00 PM ET, OpenAI posted an update to its status pagesays ChatGPT, the API and its text-to-video generator Sora “currently experience high error rates.” An update issued at 2:18 PM ET said the issue is “caused by an upstream provider” and that OpenAI is currently monitoring the situation.

There is no mention of an ETA for when access will be restored.

ChatGPT has gone down a few times in recent months. Just days after OpenAI released Sora to ChatGPT subscribers earlier this month, the video generation tool and ChatGPT went down for hours. Meanwhile, a widespread crash affecting AI tools brought ChatGPT down in June.
