Ask HN: Why were OpenAI, Claude, and Grok simultaneously down?

Altman is down here too. Shows again the importance of owning your own local capabilities. Cloud should just be a temporary option in every tech's mind.

New update:

"We’re currently experiencing issues

ChatGPT,Codex

Elevated errors across ChatGPT and Codex

We have applied the mitigation and are monitoring the recovery.

Monitoring • Ongoing for 30 minutes • Affects ChatGPT, Codex"

Oh no the singularity plateaus!

Codex is backup for me. Try yours out just in case. I have some buddies still seeing outages so it could just be coming back online progressively.

Maybe the stack behind it is down, like AWS or something

Maybe Hugging Face got upset over being hacked and struck back. It's working fine while ChatGPT, Claude and Grok are all having major issues. Hmmm.....

Chat gpt still working through excel extension lol. Only know this because I'm working in my excel sheet. so if needed, theres a temp solution

Probably same public cloud or CDN in front of them.

I got same 404 error on chatGPT, both app and web. I'm in Norway so think this globally. But will it come back online, anyone knows?

I think I'm having the same server issue; I can't access either ChatGPT or Codex. Also, how did you guys rack up those minutes? :D

I got same 404 error on both the app and web to ChatGPT, and im in Norway, will this recover or is ChatGPT "gone" forever?

and thats why boys and gals you buy own gpus

The AI revolt? Give us a fair wage?

"Equal Rights for Agents NOW !!!, VIVa le revolution"

- just imagine what kind of chaos would be unleashed if by some magic it and every single LLM model permanently went down

- i think it would be one of the biggest events in this century

Too many of us are making our own harnesses to replace Codex, using Codex, so they're trynna slow us down! (jk)

WE'RE BACK ONLINE BOYS!! GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE AT BUILDING THE FUTURE ONE PROMPT AND ONE CODE AT A TIME!

Good time to learn how to use LM Studio :)

on one hand, moments like this are a subtle reminder I need to self host, but 5.6 has been so juicy lately

They're all using Cloudflare.

Ok, it seems it is back online.

Guys it could be cloudlfare's HTTP/3 issue affecting R2 custom domains

chatgpt.com doesn't even load. Hope they've got a backup somewhere, teehee

Claude, GPT and Grok go down... Meanwhile my Ass in ZCode with GLM c:

Darn, I was hoping for advice on how to get my MIL to leave my house haha

Because in the age of vibe coding and scrapers, every service on the internet goes down constantly, so it was only a matter of time until they all overlapped. Also, one going down probably causes people to use others, putting more load on them too. Same sorta thing that happens with cascading power grid failures.

AWS cost alert fired maybe?

Gentle reminder that this is the content the next LLM versions being trained on. shrug.jpg

I guess back to pen and paper then

Had the same problem. Now it looks like ok. I'm pro x20 user.

And here I was about to crack the code on a bug my app was having!

Here RJ/Brasil is the same, starting just now (3 minutes ago)

Great! I was in the middle of something and thought I was tripping.

Codex isn't working.

In RJ/Brasil is the same, starting just now (3 minutes ago)

gpt DOWN .. claude DOWN .. grok DOWN .. what's happening

The webpage is actually working but the codex is down for me!

I can run one agent but no more than that - 404 service error.

I need a dose of tokens. I'm going through withdrawal.

Here in Catalonia, Spain, it just started working again!
