True AI-pocalypse as ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok all go down at once
All three are recovering from overlapping availability issues
OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX's Grok all experienced service disruptions at roughly the same time on Thursday, September 3. Around 7:43 am PT, a routing error caused ChatGPT and Codex to become unavailable for some users across platforms. By 8:17 am PT, OpenAI had implemented a solution and was monitoring the situation. Meanwhile, Anthropic reported a three-hour and six-minute outage for Claude, during which there were elevated error rates for Sonnet 5 and other models.
Claude was restored at 16:16 UTC. SpaceX indicated that they began investigating Grok's issues at 6:30 am PT, with the company stating that they are working to restore service as quickly as possible. Despite these issues, Cloudflare, which supports the AI providers in various capacities, reported that its systems are functioning normally and that there are no significant service disruptions.
Additionally, major US cloud computing providers such as AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure reported no relevant technical difficulties on their respective status pages. The convergence of these availability issues could suggest a problem at a common provider, though Cloudflare emphasized that their systems are running fine.
