It’s not just you! And yes it happened again 💀 OpenAI's services crashed yet again today, with ChatGPT and their video generation tool Sora experiencing a major outage on December 26. This marks the second significant disruption in just two weeks, following their previous system-wide failure earlier this month. As someone deeply embedded in AI development, watching these repeated outages is concerning. The disruption began early morning after Christmas, leaving millions of users unable to access these critical AI tools right as they returned to work. What's particularly striking about this outage is the concurrent failure of both ChatGPT and Sora, mirroring the pattern we saw in the previous crash. The timing is especially problematic - hitting during the post-holiday return to work when businesses rely heavily on these AI tools to manage their backlog. Having worked with these systems extensively, I can say these recurring outages point to deeper infrastructure challenges at OpenAI. This isn't just about temporary downtime; it's about the reliability of AI services that have become essential to modern workflows. The repeat nature of these failures raises serious questions about system stability and the need for more robust failover protocols. #product #productmanager #productmanagement #startup #business #openai #llm #ai #microsoft #google #gemini #anthropic #claude #llama #meta #nvidia #career #careeradvice #mentor #mentorship #mentortiktok #mentortok #careertok #job #jobadvice #future #2024 #story #news #dev #coding #code #engineering #engineer #coder #sales #cs #marketing #agent #work #workflow #smart #thinking #strategy #cool #real #jobtips #hack #hacks #tip #tips #tech #techtok #techtiktok #openaidevday #aiupdates #techtrends #voiceAI #developerlife #outage #systemdown #aidown #repeatoutage #systemfailure #techissues #downagain #reliability​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
