OpenAI's ChatGPT experienced a global outage on Wednesday, impacting users worldwide from approximately 3:16 pm to 7:38 pm PT. The outage affected not only ChatGPT but also OpenAI's API and Sora platforms, causing disruptions for numerous applications and services that rely on OpenAI's technologies. OpenAI acknowledged the issue, stating, 'We’re incredibly sorry for the trouble. Thank you everyone for your patience.' By evening, the company reported that services were fully operational again, though some users might experience longer wait times due to a backlog of training jobs.
