Traffic from ChatGPT outage is crashing Claude and slowing Gemini


Any other worthwhile alternatives?

Claude has been spotty today and now died completely.

But OpenAI status pages say API is fine. I suspect it's some kind of DDoS or a rouge script to abuse the chat pages. Or something going on at CloudFlare.

Gemini down for me. I got text 500 responses, then an 'Unavailable' message [1], now a html 500 page [2]

My company's internal ChatGPT using the GPT4 API is working OK, so it seems to be related to something specific to ChatGPT rather than the GPT4 service generally.

Crossing fingers for Llama 3 400B being nearly as good and seeding many competitors.
