Why Is AI Down Today?

Is AI down right now? Start with the live AI status board. This page explains common causes; it does not diagnose a current incident on its own.

Common reasons AI services stop responding

  1. Demand or capacity pressure. A service can become slow or reject requests when demand is higher than available capacity.
  2. Software changes. A rollout or configuration change may affect one product feature while other services continue to work.
  3. Cloud or network infrastructure. AI products depend on cloud hosting, networking, identity, and delivery systems. A problem in one shared layer can affect more than one service.
  4. Upstream dependencies. Sign-in, payment, API gateways, or other connected services can fail while the model itself is available.
  5. Local device or connection. Browser extensions, stale sessions, DNS, VPNs, or a local network can make a working service appear unavailable to one person.

Is it a widespread outage or a local problem?

  1. Check the all-provider status board.
  2. Open the page for the service you use: OpenAI / ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, Google AI Mode signal, Kimi.
  3. Compare with the provider’s official status source. A green status feed does not rule out account, regional, or individual-request problems.
  4. If only your session fails, refresh, test a different network or browser, and review account or API-key settings.

Why can several AI tools fail at once?

Multiple services can share cloud, identity, networking, or content-delivery dependencies. A local internet or DNS issue can also affect several unrelated apps at once. Compare each provider’s source separately; simultaneous symptoms alone do not prove a shared outage.

Frequently asked questions

Why is AI down today?

Check the current provider status pages first. AI services can be affected by demand, software changes, infrastructure, network paths, or upstream dependencies; this list explains common causes and does not identify a live incident by itself.

Why is all AI down right now?

Several services can fail together when they share infrastructure or when there is a local network issue. Compare the individual provider signals on the live board before concluding that all AI services are affected.

Why is AI slow today?

Slow responses can happen without a declared outage, including from high demand, network latency, or a slow upstream dependency. This site does not measure the response time of your individual request.

Is it down for everyone or just me?

Compare the provider’s official status source with another device or network. If only your account or connection is affected, the status feed may remain operational.
