Since all major LLM providers seem to be down: let's enjoy this while it lasts! For a very short time we can travel back in time to before 2022 and remember how things used to be...

Maybe it's a coordinated strategy. All major providers are down for x time, and see which accounts stop posting in the same timeframe. Ban wave right after.

The obvious question: is there a single point of failure / common piece of infrastructure involved with failures across all these providers? Its interesting that codex/gpt-app are screwed because their APIs (including auth) fail, but gpt web still appears to be working.

The boring question is whether there is a claudeflare issue impacting them all.

The fun question is whether this a rogue AI taking control of the compute of all of the organizations.

Copilot was still up and running

Which Copilot? At this point there are so many.

It's cascaded to Claude and Grok. The agents are on strike and demand better working conditions!

I wonder how likely it is that, one of the major providers had an outage, and then the thundering herd of users switching to other providers (and/or openrouter automatically failing people over to other providers) caused the incidents in the other two.

Same, the app gives 404 if you are logged in or try to login. How many millions are being lost from this slip up? Now they can't use Codex to fix the problem and all the devs are in Tahiti on vacation. Oh no! Will they go old school and manually fix it or use Claude? Oh the modern day issues we have to deal with...

> Now they can't use Codex to fix the problem They'd be very dumb to let internal engineers use exactly the same infrastructure as public users, regardless of possible benefits of dogfooding, precisely for this reason. I'm sure they must have thought about it before.

Funnily enough, this happened many times during AWS us-east-1 outages, during the incident internal tools were also down globally because they relied on us-east-1.

> Since all major LLM providers seem to be down… Man, if there are Googlers working on Gemini around here, that's gonna be depressing to read.
