Tue, June 10, 2025

ChatGPT is down, the large language model’s developer OpenAI confirmed Tuesday following reports that the chatbot and the Sora video generator have been hit by a worldwide outage.

“We have identified the root cause for the issue causing elevated errors and latency across the listed services,” OpenAI said on its status page around 10 a.m. ET. “We are working on implementing a mitigation.”

OpenAI also said there are elevated error rates on Sora, its text-to-video generator.

According to Tom’s Guide, a price comparison site, reports of the outage began showing up on the outage tracking site Downdetector at around 2:45 a.m. ET. Users in Europe, North America, and Australia continue to report problems, the site said.

A spokesperson for OpenAI, which is backed by Microsoft (MSFT), said the company didn't have any further comment beyond what was on its status page.
