ChatGPT Is Down
ChatGPT experienced a service outage, leaving users unable to access the platform. The disruption affected users globally, with reports of downtime emerging across social media. OpenAI has not yet provided a detailed explanation for the incident.
Background
ChatGPT is a conversational AI assistant built by OpenAI, the company behind GPT-4 and DALL·E. As of early June 2025, it is one of the most widely used AI chatbots globally, with hundreds of millions of users. "Down" means the service is inaccessible — users cannot log in, generate responses, or access their chat history. Such outages are relatively rare but garner widespread attention because ChatGPT is integrated into many people's work, study, and daily routines. OpenAI typically acknowledges major outages on its status page or via social media and works to restore service.
