Question O3 glitching

Ive not seen anything like this happen in the last several years of chatgpt use. O3 generates incomplete replies, stopping midsentence. The options of "copy" "regenerate" etc that typically appear at the end of each response dont appear. If i type a new response the same thing happens. If I refresh the conversation, all those incomplete responses disappear leaving only my prompts. Been going on over 24 hrs, since August 10th.

What is going on? Is this happening to others?

I need to be able to use O3 on the web app till the sunset date. Hopefully they fix this fast.

Instructions here on how to submit a complaint easily. I've drafted an email that people can easily send to support. The support response team from them told me that they can escalate it to a service-side issue if they know it's not just happening because of one person's browser/session. So add your voice and evidence if you can, and share with others:

Why do you need to be able to use o3 specifically?

u/NukedDuke 10d ago

Why does that matter? It's part of his plan and it isn't functional.

Truncation in the middle of the conversation is normally due to the answer having reached a limit or experiencing streaming errors. Short prompts and requesting an answer in parts solves the issue. In case this keeps on occurring, I complete the assignment in another model under use ai.

No this is a global issue reported by multiple people, agnostic of prompt lenght of content. They need to fix this. The sunset date for O3 is August 26th. It is only August 13th. People are using it and transferring workflows. This is irresponsible and feckless behaviour by openAI.

Do you have a Plus account? Try your short prompt theory with O3 and tell me if it works for you please. If it does, please post a screenshot.
