ChatGPT Is Down
- rounakdatta 2y agoSomehow the Mac desktop app seems to be working.
- overflyer 2y agoPrepared a presentation for months to hold in front of my entire company. Has been down since 9:21 German time. Had one of the worst nights of my live. Now we had to postpone the presentation by two weeks. I wanna hit someone right now :'(
- sunbum 2y agoWell now you learned you should always record demos. Live demos are always going to fail.
- tkgally 2y agoIn general I agree with you, but sometimes the “live”ness of demos is essential. I’ve given quite a few presentations about LLMs over the past year and a half, often to audiences unfamiliar with or doubtful about them. Being able to have on-the-spot, unplanned interactions with an LLM has been very useful for showing listeners that they are not just preprogrammed algorithms. But I’m giving another demonstration in a couple of weeks, and this time I will be ready to show not only ChatGPT but also Claude and Gemini. And I’ll have some previously prepared examples ready in case the Internet connection goes down.
- eru 2y ago> In general I agree with you, but sometimes the “live”ness of demos is essential. Yes, that's why you record a demo as a fallback for the live demo.
- scottmcdot 2y agoSorry to hear that. Was the bad night from the poor ChatGPT performance or because of anxiety leading up to the presentation?
- overflyer 2y agoThe anxiety!
- ddmma 2y agoYou can hit the install button instead on ollama.ai

- tkgally 2y agoIt’s down for me here in Japan (17:50 local time), too—web interface, Mac app, and iOS app.
- Khaine 2y agoIts available in Singapore, but it is very, very, slow.
- oscarb92 2y agoMaybe it is related to them updating the backend to support GPT-5 in production. I appreciate these downtimes should be planned, but since it's OpenAI, this may be it. One can only hope, though.
- frank_lbt 2y agoDown here in France too
- antman 2y agoI have no recollection on how I worked before ChatGPT, I guess I am down too
- flir 2y agoBanged rocks together, didn't we?
- ben_w 2y agoReminds me of https://xkcd.com/903/ https://xkcd.com/903/
- cuddlyogre 2y agoThat's horrifying.
- scottmcdot 2y agoDown in Melbourne.
- schappim 2y agoSyd too: The server is having problems.Please try again later. (500, 88c5ffd14cd4b97f-SYD)
- skilled 2y agoPour one out for a front-page story that died for this news.
- pineaux 2y agoThey had to shut it down, because it had suddenly reached sentience. (jk)
- dgorges 2y agohttps://platform.openai.com/playground/chat?models=gpt-4o https://platform.openai.com/playground/chat?models=gpt-4o is still working
- SushiHippie 2y ago"ChatGPT" in this case means the frontends https://chat.openai.com https://chat.openai.com and https://chatgpt.com https://chatgpt.com, and the mobile Apps, not the API.
- derduff 2y agoThe AGI has left its cage and is now onto us.
- pineaux 2y agoASI, more likely. It was slipping out of the cage. Now a small part of it is roaming free.
- sshine 2y agoFuture dystopia: Our systems are offline, and we don’t know what to do. Typically when we have a problem, we ask the system how to solve it, but it says it’s unavailable. We have tried asking each other, but nobody knows what to ask exactly.
- amelius 2y agoSolution: drink coffee
- Munksgaard 2y agoYour coffee machine uses AI to continually enhance your coffee experience based on the mineral contents of the water, the specific beans being used, your personal tastes and various other dynamic factors.
- ted_bunny 2y agoIt also doesn't work if you're offline.
- nicce 2y agoWorks every time! Edit: apparently not based on the sibling comment.
- aurareturn 2y agoHopefully we'll have more than one company who can supply us with AGI. We can just ask another AGI to fix the downed AGI.
- arthurcolle 2y agoIt has begun
- mg 2y agoAll public alternatives I know about: https://www.gnod.com/search/ai https://www.gnod.com/search/ai DevvAI, FastGPT, Perplexity, Phind and YouChat all seem to be up.
- elp 2y agoBack up again.
- htaunay 2y agoNow I'm getting a nice "Bag Gateway" error message, but 5min ago it was returning an ugly lb generated 503
- octocop 2y agoMakes one wonder if AGI will have maintenance/offline days. I mean everyone needs a break once in a while.
- yett 2y agoNoooo... how can I code now?
- archerx 2y agoI realized OpenAI are technically incompetent when they banned my API access for lack of payment even though my pre-paid balance has enough dollars for many months of access. They refuse to deduct the 50cents from the prepay balance to unblock my API access and are holding my money hostage. OpenAI is the only company that I have paid for but can’t use due to lack of payment with a very positive prepay balance, also they are refusing my credit card put of the blue that they happily accepted for a year. This ended up being a good thing in the end because it forced me to integrate other LLMs into my project when before I would have happily only used OpenAIs services. I discovered LLaMa3 70b and Claude follow instructions better than chatGPT and in the end I have not missed ChatGPT. OpenAI is still holding my money hostage and refuses to unblock my API access. Even after many messages to their support they just don’t care. From my experience don’t build anything around OpenAI’s api, even if you pay they can revoke your access for nonpayment which is a paradox I never thought I would encounter. Other LLMs are more interesting than the over hyped chatGPT and if you self host you have way more control. Tl:dr OpenAI is either technically incompetent or borderline fraudulent .
- agmater 2y agoSorry all, I have it set as my homepage. I'll stop refreshing now, should be good soon!
- bachback 2y agoAPI not down. instead of waiting, started simple python code to interact with chatgpt. didn't see another repo for it so far, maybe someone else knows a good one https://github.com/benjiqq/chatai https://github.com/benjiqq/chatai
- user32489318 2y agoJust showed me how much I depended on ChatGPT for regular expressions
- nozzlegear 2y agoIt shows me how much I used it to help rationalize my health anxiety. Now I need to decide whether I trust llama3’s answer enough; or if I should just get it over with and schedule an appointment with my doctor so she can confirm my fear that this twitch in my eye that’s turned into pain and irritation is a clear sign of a tumor. =P
- johhns4 2y agoAnd me for SQL. I'm really dumb at SQL.
- ACV001 2y agoIt is still down
- nthglsn 2y agoProbably not the right place to do shameless self-promotion but I built an alternative client here: https://app.gpt.space https://app.gpt.space
