(WPHL) – OpenAI’s chatbot, ChatGPT, was experiencing outages on Tuesday morning.

“We’re currently experiencing issues,” reads a message posted to OpenAI’s status website, which confirmed the system is facing “elevated error rates.”

“We have identified the root cause for the issue causing elevated errors and latency across the listed services,” the message continued, listing ChatGPT, Sora (OpenAI’s video-generation tool) and its application programming interfaces (APIs).

Users began to report issues with ChatGPT to DownDetector starting just before 3 a.m. ET, according to the site. Reports continued to spike through the early morning.

OpenAI is headquartered in San Francisco, California. Last month, the company recruited Jony Ive, the designer behind Apple’s iPhone, to lead a new hardware project for the artificial intelligence company that makes ChatGPT. OpenAI hasn’t said exactly what product they will be making, but some speculate the company will be focusing on bringing generative AI chatbot technology out of computer screens into another form, such as through a car, humanoid robot or the AI-powered glasses, the Associated Press reported.
