Claude, ChatGPT, and Grok are experiencing issues. According to reports, a widespread outage has taken out these popular AI platforms. OpenAI's ChatGPT and Codex, Anthropic's Claude, and X's Grok are all down, with a spike in reports on DownDetector and confirmed outages on their respective dashboards.
The underlying problem may have something to do with Microsoft Azure, which is also seeing a spike in outage reports, as all three platforms rely on Azure for cloud services. However, it is noted that Google's Gemini appears to be unaffected at this time.
Cursor, an AI agent, has also confirmed an outage due to the Grok and Claude outages. Despite a spike in user reports around the same time, Google has not confirmed an outage.
