ChatGPT outage – Resolved

I am a paying chatgpt and codex user and I am logged in on multiple devices and suddenly https://chatgpt.com/ has started returning a raw 404 status page with no HTML for me in the browsers on all devices. When I open an incognito tab the website loads fine with no user logged in. Codex in VS code also has issues now:

> unexpected status 404 Not Found: Unknown error, url: https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses, cf-ray: ...

YES! I swear I thought something malicious was happening, especially because Claude went down at the same time. https://status.openai.com was totally unhelpful, making me more suspicious.

That makes no sense, they should be able to host chatgpt.com regardless and just say "Sorry, we're at capacity" or something instead of hard 404

dsrtslnd23 | 13 hours ago

exactly - this should be trivial.

ab71e5 | 13 hours ago

Yeah who wrote that website? Oh right

embedding-shape | 13 hours ago

Distributed systems are hard. For all we know, this could be the error code returned by some DNS service that is down because of load and a proxy cannot find the records, so 404 makes sense, or whatever. Systems like these don't always have a easy point in the infrastructure that can ALWAYS respond correctly no matter what.

> Distributed systems are hard

... when vibe-coded.

: embedding-shape | 10 hours ago
Vibe coded or not, building and running distributed systems is hard :P I think only people who never built and/or ran them would say it isn't hard, regardless of what tools you have available. Not saying OpenAI won't find it extra hard due to their vibe coding, still hard when you're a group of knowledgeable people with/without AI.

[OP] stacktrace | 13 hours ago

Agreed, it makes no sense to send out 404. Unless some agent finally went rogue with absolute permission and did `rm -rf`

: jmaw | 12 hours ago
At the very least, should be a 429

embedding-shape | 13 hours ago

Hah, my first reaction once I saw these random 404 errors was "Maybe it's time to test Claude Code again with the new models" but made a short stop here at HN first, ended up reading your comment.

What other agent harnesses and models (besides local ones) are people enjoying right now that aren't based on platforms that are down currently? :)

embedding-shape | 12 hours ago

On the other spectrum, shortest JS fizzbuzz (62 characters):

    for(i=0;++i<101;console.log(i%5?f||i:f+'Buzz'))f=i%3?'':'Fizz'

Anyone can beat it? (any language accepted)

NitpickLawyer | 12 hours ago

Perl6: say "Fizz"x$_%%(2+1)~"Buzz"x$_%%(4+1)||$_ for 1..100

from here - https://github.com/rsha256/shortest-fizzbuzz/blob/master/Per...

: danbruc | 11 hours ago
Why does this use 2+1 and 4+1 instead of 3 and 5?

wilkystyle | 12 hours ago

Python:

[(x%3<1)*'Fizz'+(x%5<1)*'Buzz'or x for x in range(1,101)]

edit: Hacker News stripped the * character. Now it's properly escaped.

>>> len("[(x%3<1)'Fizz'+(x%5<1)'Buzz'or x for x in range(1,101)]")

winrid | 12 hours ago

you can flip it and save a few bytes, but not valid fizzbuzz then:

for(i=100;i--;console.log(i%5?f||i:f+'Buzz'))f=i%3?'':'Fizz'

embedding-shape | 12 hours ago

> but not valid fizzbuzz then

Well, if we let that requirement be broken, I'll present an even shorter JS version:

chrisguilbeau | 12 hours ago

LLM: wrt frst 100fizzbuzz

embedding-shape | 12 hours ago

Actually kind of curious challenge; what's the shortest prompt you can use, which would produce the shortest possible fizzbuzz?

Edit: counting including the entire assistant reply, any text + code

JaumeGreen | 11 hours ago

"golf fizbuz" works well, giving a 54 Python one

    for i in range(1,101):print("Fizz"*(i%3<1)+"Buzz"*(i%5<1)or i)

"golf fizzbuzz" gave a 46 perl one

    print$_%15?$_%3?$_%5?$_:Buzz:Fizz:FizzBuzz,$/for 1..100

Both "code fizzbuzz" and just "fizbuz" gave this longer python one-liner

    print('\n'.join("Fizz"*(i%3==0)+"Buzz"*(i%5==0) or str(i) for i in range(1, 101)))

That's the magic of using a known problem, you don't need to write much and even with incomplete prompts it can be understood. Everything a different new chat in kimi.ai, which was the AI window that I found first among mine.

Not interesting enough, to me, to try with other LLMs or phrases.

embedding-shape | 11 hours ago

Whenever I try those short prompts, I get bunch of text + the code itself, but way more than just the code. Which model specifically are you doing this with?

JaumeGreen | 11 hours ago

I'm getting the text too, of course. Several variations of the code with it usually.

Trying to get an AI give ONLY a simple answer and not several is "boring" to me, as for me AI is a supplement to my reasoning ability, not a substitute.

Appending "code only" seems to work, at least with "golf fizbuz code only" gave me this one liner, which is long, but at least doesn't have the text that you dislike.

    for i in range(1,101):print('FizzBuzz'[i%3*4:8-i%5*4]or i)

: embedding-shape | 9 hours ago
> golf fizbuz code only
Yeah, seems to work. Guess it depends if we count bytes, characters, tokens or what, but "写Fizbuz只码" seems shorter than the above, String.length says 9 :)

odo1242 | 11 hours ago

My attempt:

> Prompt: mkfzbuzgolf

> LLM Used: Default ChatGPT free LLM

> Output: for i in range(1,101):print("Fizz"*(i%3<1)+"Buzz"*(i%5<1)or i)

So, 11 prompt characters and 62 output.

——-

Did a few more tries and I can get the 4-character string “glfz” (2 tokens) to work surprisingly consistently. But only on ChatGPT

: odo1242 | 11 hours ago
Update: this is because ChatGPT was cheating and reading my conversation history. The closest I can get on a standard LLM is golffizbuz (10 characters)

butlike | 11 hours ago

"100fizzbuzz" as the prompt works to satisfys fizz buzz to 100 on Claude.

I wonder how likely it is that, one of the major providers had an outage, and then the thundering herd of users switching to other providers (and/or openrouter automatically failing people over to other providers) caused the incidents in the other two.

Of all the days to sign up for Gemini, boy did I pick the right one! (Had some rare front end work to do and wanted to see how well the new Gemini 3.8 Flash compared to my other experiences)

: epistasis | 4 hours ago
And just like that, plan cancelled same day. Started with Gemini Business, tried to get Gemini to tell me how to configure it, all the information was wrong. Tried to get it to tell me how to do the consumer Google One AI Pro or whatever (it kept using outdated names, and now I can't remember the correct one). Instead Gemini convinced me to try AI Studio without a billing code. Lots of crazy finagling to get it to use and API key later, it was totally broken and failed after less than a turn. Tried to get it to tell me how to subscribe to the consumer version in a way that let me use Antigravity, it screws up a bunch. When I pointed out all this misinformation, Gemini told me I should not use Google AI projects because the system is too fragmented to handle.
I followed that last bit of advice.

They'd be very dumb to let internal engineers use exactly the same infrastructure as public users, regardless of possible benefits of dogfooding, precisely for this reason. I'm sure they must have thought about it before.

This is true for all LLMs today, none of them work 100% autonomously, somewhere along the chain one human made at least one decision that lead to what the agent end up working on.

rtkwe | 12 hours ago

Isn't CoPilot largely a wrapper around ChatGPT and other models? IIRC they didn't create their own and just poured money (via Azure credits I think) into OpenAI to get access.

After around half an hour of struggle trying to figure out why Codex keeps failing with msg "unexpected status 404 Not Found: Unknown error.." after reconnecting 5/5 times, I gave up, especially when I tested my internet connection and found it to be working properly. I googled "codex+unexpected status 404 Not Found" and, surprisingly, the first result was from HackerNews! As always, HN is the GOAT.

themgt | 12 hours ago

2026-09-03: It turns out 40% of global AI token use was coming from a dozen runaway Gastown and Wheelhouse instances, now burning a combined 50 trillion tokens daily, building a virtual society of hundreds of millions of agents.

When Claude went down, their autofailover algorithm rolled to the other providers, taking down all frontier labs. Reports from China are raising concern what's being termed the "Gastown criticality event" is physically melting GPUs.

arcastroe | 12 hours ago

It's my first time hearing about Gastown and Wheelhouse.

Gastown seems to be open source, but Wheelhouse seems to be closed source and used by one person only?

Is this the right Wheelhouse?

GitHub Copilot itself is up but it is having problems with "Grok Copilot Model Provider". No mention of OpenAI or Claude.

Does this mean that GitHub has its own infrastructure for OpenAI and Claude? And that it distills prompts to Grok?
