Nobody Is Saying Why OpenAI and Anthropic Had Outages Today
Tens of thousands reported OpenAI issues, while Anthropic and xAI said they restored service after morning disruptions.
- On Thursday, OpenAI, Anthropic PBC, and SpaceXAI experienced simultaneous service outages that disrupted customers of three leading U.S. AI model makers throughout the morning, according to user reports and company status pages.
- Although simultaneous disruptions typically suggest third-party infrastructure failures, major internet providers including Cloudflare, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure reported no outages on Thursday. Neither OpenAI nor Anthropic cited an external shared cause.
- OpenAI spokesperson Kathleen Chaykowski attributed ChatGPT and Codex downtime to a 'routing error' starting at 7:43 am PT. Anthropic reported a 'partial outage' involving 'elevated errors on requests to Claude Mythos 5.1, Claude Fable 5.1, and Claude Opus 5.'
- SpaceXAI reported Grok outages beginning at 6:30 am PT, later citing 'an outage at our Memphis compute center' as the cause. The company confirmed at 10:05 am PT that it had 'resolved the situation.'
- While scattered reports suggested Google Gemini faced similar disruptions, the company did not confirm any incidents. Anthropic and SpaceX announced a 'compute partnership' in May, though companies did not link Thursday's events to that agreement.
