I asked Claude Opus 5, GPT-5.6, and Grok 4.6 to copy the same polished UI — tiny details exposed the winner
Only one built production-ready code.
Several major artificial intelligence services, including OpenAI's ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude, and SpaceX's Grok, experienced disruptions and outages on Thursday. According to reports, the issues started early in the morning, with ChatGPT and Codex unavailable for some users due to a routing error.
Anthropic's Claude also faced a partial outage, which lasted for three hours and six minutes, affecting models such as Sonnet 5. The outage was caused by an infrastructure issue and was resolved, with service restored at 16:16 UTC. SpaceX's Grok was also experiencing issues, with the company working to restore service as quickly as possible.
Building a simple webpage with AI is no longer a challenge, but creating a polished and intentional design is a different story. According to XDA Developers, it's easy for a model to generate working code, but much harder to balance margins, pick the right contrast, and keep every visual element aligned.
