After an outage took down OpenAI’s ChatGPT service for a while, the service experienced another major outage during the daytime in the US.

“ChatGPT is unavailable for some users,” said OpenAI in its statement.

“We are currently investigating this issue.

” The second round of issues started at around 10:30 AM ET, with thousands of reports of issues showing up.

Many users of the ChatGPT mobile apps and the web service were not seeing replies; however, at about 1:17 PM ET, OpenAI confirmed the issue was resolved.

Around the same time that ChatGPT had its issues, some users reported problems with Google Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude AI, and Perplexity AI web search.

Google Gemini appears to be widely available, and people were able to access Claude again pretty quickly.

By 1:30 PM ET, Perplexity announced that its AI search tool had also been restored.

The last major outage to hit ChatGPT came when the service was down for around 90 minutes, which also impacted OpenAI’s API services.

The API appears to be unaffected in this latest outage.

OpenAI later revealed that the November outage was due to a technical issue.

A similar issue also took down ChatGPT search features last month, alongside the software giant’s own Copilot service.
