OpenAI’s artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT is down for some users.
The company said it is “currently experiencing issues,” including “increased ChatGPT error rates,” according to an update on OpenAI’s status page.
“We have applied the mitigation and are monitoring the recovery,” the status page said.
OpenAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Roughly 3,000 people reported issues with the chatbot on Tuesday, according to Downdetector, a website that tracks outages.
The outage comes days after OpenAI disclosed a security breach at Mixpanel one of OpenAI’s data analytics providers.
The breach compromised user information, such as names, emails and other details tied to the OpenAI API.
OpenAI did not disclose how many users were affected, saying in a blog post that an attacker “exported a dataset containing limited customer identifiable information and analytics information.”
OpenAI kickstarted the AI boom with the launch of ChatGPT three years ago. As of October, OpenAI said more than 800 million people use the chatbot each week.
