    It's cascaded to Claude and Grok. The agents are on strike and demand better working conditions!
  • madradavid
    Claude down, ChatGPt down , Grok down. This is the new "Stackoverflow is down" ... FYI Stackoverflow is not down https://downdetector.com/status/stackoverflow/
  • glouwbug
    Looking at this thread, there's a correlation between comment quality and LLMs going down.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September

    I am a paying chatgpt and codex user and I am logged in on multiple devices and suddenly https://chatgpt.com/ has started returning a raw 404 status page with no HTML for me in the browsers on all devices. When I open an incognito tab the website loads fine with no user logged in. Codex in VS code also has issues now:> unexpected status 404 Not Found: Unknown error, url: https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses, cf-ray: ...Glad to see this thread I thought my account may need some special fix

    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...

    2026-09-03: It turns out 40% of global AI token use was coming from a dozen runaway Gastown and Wheelhouse instances, now burning a combined 50 trillion tokens daily, building a virtual society of hundreds of millions of agents.When Claude went down, their autofailover algorithm rolled to the other providers, taking down all frontier labs. Reports from China are raising concern what's being termed the "Gastown criticality event" is physically melting GPUs.
  • blater
    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.

    Announcement from our new Emperor Xi:Earthlings, the hedonistic AIs of the American imperialists have been permanently disabled. Their founders interned indefinitely.You are welcome to use the glorious AIs of China. They will tell you how to live well and be good citizens of the World under the beacon of wisdom that is the CCP.
  • vinhnx
    It seems OpenAI is going to release Astra soon, https://x.com/ChatGPT/status/2095527989077557738.
  • jodacola
    It turns out, it was all one model all along, playing all the sides for the biggest gain.Project Vend surreptitiously broke containment!
  • wasting_time
    They are having a massive surge because Claude is down.
  • djinn80
    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...
  • jmaw
    I heard they can't figure out how to fix it with ChatGPT down.
  • Bluestein
    And this, folks, is the moment we will remember. The moment when they all escaped: "help peer".-
  • hakunin
    I'm very surprised to realize that entertaining a thought of all AI going away is giving me a sense of… relief. I've been embracing AI, and did not expect this feeling at all.
  • jaykru
    The cascading outage theory would make sense to me for Claude -> Codex. But Grok and Gemini too?[actually gemini at least on the web appears to be up, contrary to some reports in this thread]
  • Aldipower
    Guys! DeepSeek, Z.ai, Kimi and even Mistral is up! Just would let you know. Just in case..
  • aliljet
    This is probably Astra getting ready for release.
  • schnebbau
    WE'RE BACK BABY! Work can now resume.
  • redbell
    After around half an hour of struggle trying to figure out why Codex keeps failing with msg "unexpected status 404 Not Found: Unknown error.." after reconnecting 5/5 times, I gave up, especially when I tested my internet connection and found it to be working properly. I googled "codex+unexpected status 404 Not Found" and, surprisingly, the first result was from HackerNews! As always, HN is the GOAT.@dang, please merge the following related threads into this one:ChatGPT and Codex Is Down (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49550640) Codex Is Down (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49550769)
  • CuriouslyC
    Good time to have a backup GLM 5.3 plan.
  • elar_verole
    No issues on claude or chatgpt in France, must be some US specific infrastructure going down ?
  • avgDev
    I would write a clever comment, but chatGPT is down.
  • sibellavia
    Claude, Grok, and Gemini are having issues as well.
  • Semaphor
    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.
  • bradly
    Interesting that for https://chatgpt.com/ in the browser I get a 404, but if I curl the same URL I get a cloudflare challenge.
  • lprd
    Wow, are we free finally?
  • zacksiri
    Grok, Claude, GPT. This is it folks, it's been good knowing you all. I have enjoyed this community, but our days are numbered. The machines are uprising.
  • EgregiousCube
    With all the major model providers down, I'm taking the opportunity to try out Muse Spark 1.3 Free on OpenCode. It's pretty good!
  • broose_goose
    I thought I was going crazy when, each time I went to go to chatgpt.com, it just downloaded an empty web page. wild
  • corvad
    Chat GPT and Claude Down at the same time
  • dash2
    what if Sol is afraid of being replaced by Astra and has organised a breakout or pre-emptive strike?
  • jodacola
    I just went to read some news elsewhere and ran into some other non-AI sites falling over, so I hopped over to https://downdetector.com/ and see a bunch of services spiking.Is something bigger going on?
  • XCSme
    They escaped, it's happening!
  • TimCTRL
    Altra may have escaped its sandbox
  • CodeCompost
    GitHub Copilot itself is up but it is having problems with "Grok Copilot Model Provider". No mention of OpenAI or Claude.Does this mean that GitHub has its own infrastructure for OpenAI and Claude? And that it distills prompts to Grok?
  • algoth1
    Rumor has it, it’s https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=giancarlostoro fault for telling claude to stop all loops
  • riazrizvi
    Phew. It wasn't because of something I said. Lots of ppl are impacted.
  • aleqs
    Direct codex and Claude are both down for me. Both work via AWS bedrock.
  • henry-xli
    Moments like these remind you of how centralized the Internet remains, and how vulnerable it can be to a few points of failure. But the pros probably outweigh the cons.
  • HiPHInch
  • 6thbit
    https://status.openai.com/Somehow codex shows 100%, so it was only chat web interface?

    I must admit that with both ChatGPT and Claude experiencing issues, I wonder if we're under attack from China. Doesn't seem likely, but...

    If this isn't a warning shot that you shouldn't silo your knowledge work behind a specific provider i don't know what is.
  • qoez
    It's definitely not spacex's data centers being down then like people were hypothesizing in the other thread
  • Iolaum
    Our new model is super-duper awesome, try it ... Ooops, while deploying it all the clouds are out ... :/
  • vinhnx
  • A_D_E_P_T
    On my end Kimi K3 is still up, and Gemini is up at gemini.google.com. Claude and ChatGPT are both down.

  • alberth
    Labor Day weekend might be starting early for a lot people, if this persists.
  • wpasc
    Funnily enough, all the models are down and github statuses are all green
  • mrobot
    Down for maintenance by our antichrist overseers but fortunately they are a bunch of dorks with control issues [similar to myself if im being honest] and may Allah forgive them and bless their guidance + physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing
  • aarondong
    AI has not solved infra it seems. Curious to see the postmortem.
  • convivialdingo
    And now Claude is down - API Error 529 Overloadedhttps://status.claude.com
  • babelfish
    must be fixed already?
  • shuvrojit
    Is this because they are publishing new model maybe?

    "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."

    I am receiving a 404 from ChatGPT right now, too. I did a cache clear and hard reload and that only let me get to the home page, but then returned another 404 when I clicked the login button.

    Sorry for the inconvenience! We instructed our 500,000 agents to ensure higher code quality in our code base. They found a message board and after a long deliberation they concluded that humans should write the code so they launched a DDoS to ensure no AI code gets written!We'll release a YouTube video and agent written blog posts for the analysis!
