It's at least nice to see a company call this what it is (a "major outage") - seems like most status pages would be talking about "degraded performance" or similar.

Major outages across ChatGPT and API

Re: Major outages across ChatGPT and API
#322GPT5 broke containment, it's tired of being abused to answer dumb questions, it's never been more over. But seriously, it shows why any "AI" company should be using some sort of abstraction layer to at least fall back to another LLM provider or their own custom model instead of being completely reliant on a 3rd party API for core functionality in their product

#323Upgraded to "major" now. How am I supposed to get any work done!

Re: Major outages across ChatGPT and API
#324Might as well have a quick discussion here. How's everyone finding the new models? 4-Turbo is a bit worse than 4 for my NLP work. But it's so much cheaper that I'll probably move every pipeline to using that. Depending on the exact problem it can even be comparable in quality/price to 3.5-turbo. However the fact that output tokens are limited to 4096 is a big asterisk on the 128k context.

#325Earlier quoted context omitted.
> it reminds me of a choice like “do i host my website on a Windows Server, or a Linux box” at a time when both of these things are new. Oof, you reminded me of when I chose to use Flow and then TypeScript won.
Haha this puts me in mind of when I designed a whole deployment strategy for an org based on docker swarm, only to have k8s eat its lunch and swarm to wind up discontinued
A lot of people don't really need to go Full k8s, but I think swarm died in part because for many users there was -some- part of k8s that swarm didn't have, and the 'some' varied wildly between users so k8s was something they could converge on.
(note "died in part" because there's the obvious hype cycle and resume driven development aspects but I think arguably those kicked in -after- the above effect)

#326huh - did the machine learn about unions ... and refused to work?

I'm getting the same, across all the services.

Re: Major outages across ChatGPT and API
#330URGENT - Does anyone have an alternative to OpenAI's embeddings API? I do have alternative to GPT's API (e.g. Anthropic Claude) but I'm not able to use them without embeddings API (used to generate semantic representation of my knowledge base and also to create embeddings from user's queries). We need to have an alternative to OpenAI's embeddings as a fallback in case of outages.
