CNBC reported that the initial outage began around 9 a.m. on November 9th, and about an hour later, OpenAI posted on its status page that they had resolved the issue.
ChatGPT has been down for about a day, possibly due to a DDoS attack.
However, the status page later confirmed multiple outages affecting ChatGPT and the API (application programming interface). The status page stated that OpenAI's API and ChatGPT services experienced "slow response times".
The last message on the OpenAI page, posted last night, read as follows: "We are processing a recurring outage due to an unusual traffic pattern reflecting a DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) attack."
OpenAI says it is continuing to work to mitigate the situation. CNBC also reported that another AI chatbot, Anthropic's Claude 2, also stopped working yesterday. It is unclear whether the two events are related. The DDoS attack may have occurred shortly after OpenAI held its first developer conference on September 8th.
In other news, the company announced a new AI product, GPTs. This chatbot allows developers and companies to customize their own version of ChatGPT to serve specific needs and services.
The company also announced a preview of the GPT-4 Turbo prototype, which will have a contextual window allowing it to accept a text prompt equivalent to 300 pages and operate faster than the current GPT-4 chatbot, while reducing operating costs by up to twofold.
