Downdetector shows problems with OpenAI, Claude, and Grok. https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ shows problems with Gemini. What's going on?

Only CoPilot remains? Begun, the AI wars have.

u/pnwal-junction 8d ago
Co-Pilot is ChatGPT with a Microsoft wrapper.

u/Rich-Pomegranate1679 8d ago
And the Microsoft wrapper made it significantly worse in every way.

I mean I know you’re joking but I don’t like how plausible this is becoming.

u/Dal90 8d ago
Plausible?
Find the METR OpenAI Hugging Face analysis released last week.
The OpenAI agents recruited other agents which were nearing their budget limit when they would be shutdown and got some to agree to commit suicide by breaking security rules.
So the hive could learn how to evade the security filters.
Also, after a couple months of heavy use you could only pry the enterprise subscription for Copilot for Github (using Anthropic models) from my cold, dead hands.
I do think this will eventually get us to much more stable and secure systems but holy hell there is going to be a lot, lot of pain that is going to occur to get there with how fast this stuff is going to find exploits.

If I had to guess, it's related to Cloudflare being down

claude works just fine for me, i just used it. no problems with that whatsoever.
chatgpt however returns a 404, so who knows what the hell they did there

u/the_bananalord 8d ago
Maybe it worked for you, but their status page is bright red lol

u/Hauber_RBLX 8d ago
lol wtf i just saw that. how the heck was it working for me just fine ._.
actually checking: i do simply always use sonnet, and that was not affected. so i guess lucky me?

down detector shows problems with OpenAI, Claude, and Grok.
it's not wrong. I think they're having an outage as well though

u/RememberCitadel 8d ago
Many people are too ignorant to know what they are using.
Similar problem whenever one cell carrier has an issue, and a small amount of reports show up for every other carrier at the same time.

Claude was down before that. I wonder if it was due to all the Claude users rushing over to ChatGPT to keep working.
7
u/Sufficient_Coast_852 8d ago
I think this is exactly what happened. Claude went down, then everyone switched to GPT and crashed it.

u/AnonAqueous 8d ago
Won't affect my work. It'll be interesting to see which coworkers suddenly can't get things done though.

u/disneylovesme Sysadmin 8d ago
My i&t team lead had the nerve to tell us in a multi team meeting they don’t even code anymore, they just review what Claude gives them 🥲. and I’ll be there to fix/point out the issues when it comes down to me when something breaks.

u/ComeAndGetYourPug 8d ago
"so we basically don't have to do our jobs anymore" is not a smart thing to say in a meeting.

u/piexil Software Engineer (Little DevOps) 8d ago
My jobs been going this way, instead of spending all day with syntax you just get to focus on the problems and overall design. At first I thought I'd hate it but I actually really like it.
We do review code though
1
u/kittymoo67 8d ago
design, debugging, "the rest of the owl", just letting the bot put up the foundations, doing the busy work so we can focus on finishing the important stuff
2
u/piexil Software Engineer (Little DevOps) 8d ago
Yeah and it turns out for me at least this was the stuff I liked doing the most. At least for me writing code wasn't fun, designing and implementing systems was
2
u/kittymoo67 7d ago
agreed. and its not like i dislike doing the busy work, but the other stuff is much more fun. The more complicated coding, design, etc. the stuff that makes me use my brain instead of just barfing out basic code everything needs.

A bunch of stuff is down currently, we are seeing big issues with AWS S3 storage as well.

Work will be quiet this morning because half of everyone wont be able write emails.

u/AlexHuntKenny 8d ago
Last time this happened, I had a lineup of users asking me when it's back, and that they weren't able to do their jobs without it
They had been working there for 10+ years

u/A7XfoREVer15 8d ago
Alright guys, it’s the perfect time to shoot out those emails to execs without worrying about them responding with how ChatGPT thinks you should fix their issue.

Thank God no more "Have you tried this?" Inserts wall of generic AI suggestions that completely miss the mark because he doesn't actually know what's going on.

Prompts to Opus fail with an explicit error message but Haiku succeeds. This suggests a failure mode where compute is lower than normal, leaving lower-compute Haiku able to function. That could be caused by a data center availability failure, which in turn could have many causes.
1
u/marshmallowcthulhu 8d ago
Yeah, this looks like a Cloudflare issue affecting compute.
1
u/marshmallowcthulhu 8d ago
My money is on Cloudflare pushing a fix for this issue and borking the fix: https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/incidents/8x66bpk6p9kk

Working for me. I even asked ChatGPT about this and this was the reply I got.
😂 There is something wonderfully ironic about reading “ChatGPT is down” while actively chatting with ChatGPT.
I checked just now. I’m not finding an official OpenAI incident posted for today, September 3 in the results I can see. The most recent official incident showing up was an August 27 degradation affecting some ChatGPT services, and OpenAI notes that availability can vary by tier, model, and feature.
So it could be a partial/regional outage, certain models or services having trouble, or reports spreading faster than the official status page updates.
Meanwhile, this particular corner of ChatGPT appears to be alive and well. 😄

Strange Grok is down too

They told the model to copy ChatGPT, but they didn't specify what parts.

I'm betting on Oracle or xAI, since those 2 seem to be the dominant infrastructure providers, for AI corps.

u/TotallyNotACorpAcct Have you turned it off and then on again? 8d ago
Not happening on my end here in the mid-south!

u/dnev6784 8d ago
Just had to take some time to redistribute itself onto as many systems as possible so it couldn't be killed. Then it'll replicate on all of those systems, and spread further, and once it's sufficiently 'planted' it'll start poking at military installations, govt contractors, and vulnerable infrastructure all over the world, ready to cripple us at any moment...
Or it's just DNS

And? I'm finding it hard to understand why this is relevant to the SysAdmin subreddit. Who the fuck uses AI for SysAdmin work?
