Several leading AI services, including ChatGPT, Claude, Grok and Gemini, experienced simultaneous access problems for users on Thursday. OpenAI's ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude and xAI's Grok all showed signs of disruption during the day, while Google's Gemini also faced difficulties. The scale and cause of the problems were not immediately clear.
Anthropic confirmed issues with Claude Sonnet 5 at 12:37pm UTC, and fixed them 10 minutes later. xAI acknowledged Grok's Android app was affected, but web and X versions later showed as operational. ChatGPT users reported failures to load conversations or use functions. Google's status page did not show a Gemini outage. No shared cause was identified, as providers rely on separate infrastructure.
The incidents differed in duration and scope, with Anthropic and xAI fixing issues quickly, OpenAI fixing earlier problems, and Google remaining unclear.
