ChatGPT, Claude, Grok down for thousands as users report errors, failed responses
What's happening
OpenAI's ChatGPT, xAI's Grok, and Anthropic's Claude all experienced overlapping outages that caused elevated errors and failed responses for thousands of users. Reports show the incidents began around 11AM ET, with status pages indicating 'elevated errors' across ChatGPT and Codex, and multiple outlets saying the three services went down at once while all are now recovering. Community threads on r/ChatGPT, r/ClaudeCode, r/grok, r/LocalLLaMA and Hacker News captured user reports and linked the services' status pages as people sought explanations. Coverage calls this a rare simultaneous interruption affecting the top frontier labs and mentions Google Gemini also suffering interruptions in at least one report.
