In an unusual event, several leading AI platforms experienced outages on Tuesday morning. This wasn't just a ChatGPT issue - Anthropic's Claude and Perplexity also faced problems, though theirs were resolved quicker. While Google's Gemini seems functional now, user reports suggest a potential brief downtime. The simultaneous outage across multiple providers raises questions. It could be a wider infrastructure issue, similar to those that cause multiple social media sites to go down at once. Another possibility is that Claude and Perplexity received a surge in traffic due to the ChatGPT outage, overwhelming their systems. During the incident, users couldn't interact with the ChatGPT chatbot through its landing page.
