A significant disruption shook OpenAI’s AI chatbot platform, ChatGPT, this Thursday. Early dawn, users began reporting connectivity issues across several platforms. By 5:12 a.m., Pacific Time, OpenAI officially recognized the problem on their status page, pinpointing the cause roughly an hour later.
“Efforts are underway to implement a solution,” stated a note on the status page at 5:43 a.m. Subsequent updates at 7:09 a.m. confirmed the implementation of a fix that was under evaluation. As of the time of reporting, connectivity to ChatGPT appeared to be restored.
OpenAI’s API wasn’t left out in the technical hiccup. The team, however, claims the issue was resolved swiftly. Breakdowns in ChatGPT’s service for prolonged periods are seldom but not unheard of.
The last interruption occurred in December when ChatGPT alongside OpenAI’s API and video generator, Sora, experienced major service disruptions. OpenAI was on top of the situation, but it took around three hours before complete restoration. The glitch was blamed on bugs in a new telemetry service.
