OpenAI’s ChatGPT Experiences Widespread Outage Amid Company Chaos

OpenAI’s chatbot, ChatGPT, is currently experiencing a widespread outage on Tuesday afternoon. Users have been reporting error messages when trying to use the bot, which began around 2 p.m. PT, according to Down Detector. OpenAI has identified the issue and is actively working on a fix.

The problem is affecting the non-completion API endpoints, and OpenAI has stated that it is related to an issue with their database replicas. The company’s spokesperson mentioned on Twitter that elevated error rates are being resolved shortly.

This recent outage follows a previous one earlier this month, which was caused by a targeted DDoS attack that overwhelmed OpenAI’s systems. The attack underscores the challenges faced by online platforms in maintaining seamless service in the face of cybersecurity threats.

OpenAI has had a tumultuous week, marked by the departure of CEO Sam Altman, and its board has faced scrutiny for their lack of transparency regarding the reasons for Altman’s departure. Despite this, reports suggest that Altman may be considering a return to the company.

As of now, the situation is ongoing, but OpenAI continues to work diligently on resolving the issue and restoring full functionality to ChatGPT. We will update this story as more information becomes available.
