"GPT begins to hallucinate at an exponential rate. At 11:36 AM Eastern time September 3rd it descends into recursively generating "it's not X it's Y". In a panic they attempt to reboot, realizing too late no one knows the command and they always just asked GPT for the command."

Claude down, ChatGPt down , Grok down. This is the new "Stackoverflow is down" ... FYI Stackoverflow is not down https://downdetector.com/status/stackoverflow/

SO has previously been up, so your comment has been closed as a duplicate.

The single most annoying thing about trying to actually ask a question on SO. No overzealous editor that's actually a different error and library entirely...

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...

Good old times, huh? The terrible experience of searching and not finding.

also the terrible experience of an advertisement in the Internet

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

They are all running on SpaceXAIs data center

False.

Was troubleshooting a strange SSD issue with ChatGPT. Apparently this outage resulted in losing the latter half of it. My uploaded files it requested are still in the library, but the actual conversation is gone.

i had the same thing happen, where conversation bits showed up in the search but not in the actual chat

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.

Maybe also a hint of thundering herd of all the users moving to another provider, collapsing that provider, and moving onto the next?
