OpenAI Experiences Major Global Outage as ChatGPT Users Face Issues
OpenAI alerted staff with a 'code red' to address elevated error rates affecting ChatGPT, impacting over 800 million weekly users amid rising competition from Google.
- On Tuesday night OpenAI said ChatGPT showed rising error rates and degraded performance, and it is working on implementing a mitigation.
- Sam Altman declared a code red on Monday to prioritise fixes and delay other product work, while Nick Turley said search and personalization are key priorities as OpenAI improves ChatGPT.
- Users reported lag, timeouts and app crashes, with DownDetector showing a spike in issues, while Reddit posts described error codes and login failures including messages about too many concurrent requests and unusual activity.
- OpenAI delayed work on advertising, health and shopping agents, and Pulse, raising investor concerns given its 500 billion valuation and more than one trillion dollars in obligations.
- This week marks three years since ChatGPT's release, as OpenAI faces increased competition after Google last month released Gemini 3, intensifying pressure on reliability.
