ChatGPT Down, Several Users Report Issues

ChatGPT, the generative artificial intelligence chatbot of OpenAI, is currently experiencing significant disruptions, restricting users from participating in chats or accessing their past conversations.

Though OpenAI hasn't made a comment on this issue, at the time of writing this story, almost 4000 people had marked issues while using ChatGPT on the outage tracking website Downdetector, which has recorded an extraordinary spike in complaints.

The outages appear to be affecting not only ChatGPT but also other OpenAI services. This has led to speculation that the GPT-4o and GPT-4o mini models are facing downtime, which is causing the broader disruption. A wave of experiences and reactions is being shared by users on x.com and Instagram.
