 ChatGPT is down globally, leaving millions unable to access the AI chatbot.

ChatGPT is down: The popular AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT has gone offline due to a technical issue, affecting millions of users worldwide. The outage also affected OpenAI's API and other services, resulting in widespread disruption.



According to Downdetector, a service that tracks outages, there has been a significant increase in complaints about ChatGPT being down, with over 1,000 reports received. Users have taken to social media to express their frustration and confusion, citing slow login times and poor performance.

"Chatgpt, please fix it; all of our history is in your hands, and we need it back," one user wrote on Downdetector. 

An X user expressed concern, writing, "My second brain just stopped working! ChatGPT is down! #chatgptdown"

The outage has impacted not only individual users, but also companies that rely on OpenAI's API for their projects. Many businesses have reported service disruptions, highlighting the extent of the outage.

This is ChatGPT's third major outage since December. In December, the AI platform experienced two outages due to technical issues.

As the outage persists, users are left waiting for a solution, emphasizing the importance of dependable technology infrastructure.

Elon Musk targets Sam Altman.
Earlier on Thursday, Elon Musk clashed with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman over the Stargate artificial intelligence infrastructure project championed by President Donald Trump, the latest in a feud between the two tech billionaires that began on OpenAI's board and is now testing Musk's influence with the new president.
Trump on Tuesday talked about a joint venture investing up to $500 billion through a new partnership formed by OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, along with Oracle and SoftBank.

Stargate, the new entity, is already constructing data centers and generating electricity to support the continued development of rapidly evolving AI technology.

Trump called it "a resounding declaration of confidence in America's potential" under his new administration, with an initial private investment of $100 billion that could grow to five times that amount.


But Musk, a close Trump adviser who helped fund his campaign and now heads a government cost-cutting initiative, questioned the investment hours later.

"They don't actually have the money," Musk stated on his social media platform X. "SoftBank has well under $10 billion secured. "I have it on good authority."
