I guess back to pen and paper then

Strangely, it's currently not reported on both https://status.openai.com/ and https://updog.ai/status/openai . Any better source (other than HN)?

Astra is being released today. Probably not a coincidence. edit: actually, you cannot even log into your OpenAI developer account. Something's wrong.

chatgpt.com doesn't even load. Hope they've got a backup somewhere, teehee

Many LLMs down, discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49549676

Claude is flakey atm too, as is Grok. I wonder if one LLM going down causes a surge in traffic to the others. https://status.claude.com/ Via Grok web UI, I was seeing this mid-request: > Grok has been disconnected. Please try reconnecting.

AWS cost alert fired maybe?

https://status.x.ai Claude and Grok are down at the moment too, related to SpaceX datacentre issues? Either that or it's judgement day...

Well, time to end the day here I guess.
