A major internet outage appears to have hit all of the major AI services on Thursday.
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and Grok all appear to be suffering from stability and downtime issues as of publishing, with thousands of users reporting outages.
According to DownDetector, users across AI platforms started experiencing issues accessing ChatGPT at around 11 a.m. ET. However, it's not just OpenAI having issues either. DownDetector users also report that Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and Elon Musk's xAI's chatbots are all suffering from similar outages.
Brief ChatGPT and Claude outages happen occasionally, and they usually resolve quickly. However, it's highly unusual for multiple AI services to experience problems simultaneously.
ChatGPT's status monitor says "we're currently experiencing issues" and states that there are "elevated errors across ChatGPT and Codex."
Anthropic's own status monitor shared that Mythos/Fable 5.1, Mythos/Fable 5, Opus 5, Opus 4.8, and Opus 4.6 models are all affected by the outage.
It's currently unclear as to why all of these major AI platforms are suffering similar issues at the same time.
This is a developing story and we will update as more information becomes available...
