ChatGPT was down. What we know about the major outage.
UPDATE: Nov. 8, 2023, 3:03 p.m. EST OpenAI has resolved the issue, which was impacting ChatGPT and its API. The problem was identified and implemented shortly after 10 a.m. ET, according to status.openai.com.
ChatGPT is down for subscribers and free users.
According to OpenAI's status monitoring site and Down Detector (which shares the same parent company as Mashable) both reported major outages. As of 6:02 a.m. PT/9:02 a.m. ET, OpenAI says it is aware of the issue and continuing to investigate it.
Yesterday afternoon, Mashable reported issues with ChatGPT's ability to generate DALL-E 3 images, although it's unclear if this is a related issue. At the time a spokesperson for OpenAI said all systems are full operational on their end. Earlier this week, OpenAI announced updates to ChatGPT at its very first developer conference. This included integrating DALL-E 3 with ChatGPT, updating its knowledge cutoff date to April 2023, and deploying GPT-4 Turbo to ChatGPT Plus users.
