On Thursday, three major chatbots — ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok — all went down without warning.
The simultaneous outage of three flagship from AI systems from three different providers was bizarre. But, in an exceedingly peculiar information gap, we still don’t know why models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceXAI respectively suffered outages at the same time, Wired reports. Whatever linked the disruptions, for now, remains unclear.
Only OpenAI has responded to journalists’ requests for comment.
“A routing error starting around 7:43 am PT on Thursday, September 3, made ChatGPT and Codex unavailable for some users across platforms,” a spokesperson told multiple outlets. “As of about 8:17 am PT on Thursday, a solution was successfully implemented and is continuing to be monitored.”
