ChatGPT's website was updated to show that the service was at capacity and Claude's website displayed an error message. Perplexity's site also briefly showed an over-capacity message. ChatGPT had recently resolved a lengthy outage that affected its service overnight. The AI providers have not yet commented on the outages. Other online disruptions are also occurring, including a zero-day spam attack on TikTok.
Key takeaways:
- OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot, Anthropic’s Claude, and Perplexity all experienced outages at the same time, which is unusual and could indicate a larger infrastructure or internet-scale problem.
- While Claude and Perplexity's issues were quickly resolved, ChatGPT remains down, with its landing page indicating the service is at capacity.
- The outages could possibly be due to receiving too much traffic in a short period of time due to ChatGPT’s outage.
- These AI outages are not the only online disruptions currently happening, with a zero-day spam attack also reported on TikTok affecting select celebrity and brand accounts.
