ChatGPT faced a significant outage affecting users across the US, with many reporting a 'bad gateway' error message. The issues began around 7am ET, as indicated by Downdetector, and were primarily noted along the East Coast. Users expressed frustration on social media, highlighting their reliance on the AI for daily tasks like brainstorming and research. OpenAI acknowledged the problem, stating they are investigating elevated error rates in their API. This outage coincides with developments in AI infrastructure backed by OpenAI founder Sam Altman, related to a new project with President Trump.
'Seriously, how am I supposed to brainstorm, write, and research without my AI assistant,' an X user posted.
OpenAI's service page shows the company is investigating the issue. We are currently experiencing elevated error rates in the API.
'This will be the most important project of this era,' said Altman said Tuesday while visiting the White House.
The outage comes as OpenAI founder Sam Altman backs President Donald Trump's new AI venture, Stargate, which will see a $500 billion investment.
