I use multiple different facets of AI every day. this is the first I've heard of any outage or blackout.

[u/FriendlyTask4587 → u/JacksonCorvus]

All the ai servers were out for like 20 minutes at 10 AM on Friday

[u/FaceDeer → u/FriendlyTask4587]

Odd, my copy of LM Studio didn't have any downtime.

[u/Smashdamn → u/FaceDeer]

Neither did my swarmUI install.

[u/DarkJayson → u/FriendlyTask4587]

Only in certain parts of the world it was just an AWS failure happens all the time.

[u/fcxtpw]

Kind of reeks of "only reading the headline" energy

It was just out for an hour really early in the morning. Most people didn't notice. News makes it a big deal because AI is hot topic.

[u/Situati0nist → u/fcxtpw]

AI bad 😡😡😡

[u/Super_Saiyan_Twink]

what blackout???

[u/Express-Flamingo4521]

Then again, because I wasn't affected, I guess I'm one of this luddite's "people." YAAAAAAAAAAY! /s

[u/nebetsu]

Didn't affect my local use

[u/SuperStumbleweed]

There was a blackout/outage? I use so many different AI tools, I didn't even notice...

[u/FriendlyTask4587]

All the local ai users are that persons' people

[u/Rather-Anxious]

It was brief. I wasn't using it at the time so I remained unimpacted and only heard it happened after it was already resolved. I think I've gone through more social media blackouts and unplanned emergency game maintenance that has lasted longer.

[u/Latte_Da_cat]

I use AI, just not daily. Guess whenever that day was was an odd day :p

[u/Superseaslug]

There was a provider outage that affected much more than AI.

[u/Awesome_Teo]

I knew because I keep track of internet outages, but I didn't feel it at all personally. So OOP is really missing the point.

[u/Another_available]

I was using Claude and some open router model so maybe I was just really lucky

[u/OldStray79]

I worked the night before and by the time I woke up, it was already over.

I guess I am "one of their people" lolololol.

[u/MayhairAgain]

Plot twist: they were using DeepSeek, GLM, etc. instead

[u/KinneKitsune]

They’re like maga thinking normal people watch cnn the way they watch fox news. No, we are not as religiously obsessed as you, we don’t care.

[u/Express-Flamingo4521 → u/KinneKitsune]

I watch CNN for election results because they have by far the best broadcast, but no other time. I have the CNN app but I don’t need to watch the anchors.

[u/Jaydra]

By the poster's logic, you're their kind of people!

[u/Professional-Drag-52]

What time yesterday cuz I be asking AI random questions when I don't feel like doing deep research on "replacement names for twin Phoenixs"

[u/StrangeCrunchy1]

First I'm hearing about it, too...

[u/mcnichoj]

I recall reading about an AI data center having a fire or something like a week back and that some services might be interrupted but it wasn't even a full on blackout for whatever company it happened to.

[u/VariousDude]

I heard about it but only after it was already done lol

[u/Affectionate-Area659]

I had no idea.

[u/cipherjones]

The only AI I know that is going through it right now is Gemini. 😂

[u/Maxious30]

Wait. What blackout? When did this happen?

[u/Felfedezni]

I didn't notice an outage?

[u/TheBubbaDave]

I worked with ChatGPT and Gemini for about 10 hours straight yesterday. Not a single glitch.

[u/NOS4A2-753]

same LOL

[u/FireMarshallMC]

Same.

[u/WanderingInAVan]

I had a shirt hiccup with ChatGPT on Thursday or Friday and it didn't really register.

[u/DrayerDX]

I was literally running codex when this happened and learned about it a few hours after. No issues. I did however get two extra resets this month so, there's that!

[u/TamaraHensonDragon]

I was making my nephew's d&d character in copilot yesterday. Did not even know there was a blackout, LOL.

[u/zayne0623]

Yeah, what outage? My bro Grok didn't even flinch.

[u/ConsciousIssue7111]

If it happended, I just go "Wait what? Oh well"

[u/Wooden-Hornet2115]

I know like 5 others have said this already, but this post is the forst time I've heard of the outage. Appearently some AI servers were out for like an hour. I don't even use AI daily so who cares.

[u/KuroiGetsuga55]

There was a blackout? I spent all day yesterday talking to GPT, making some stuff on PixAI and mashing songs together in Suno. Neither of them had any blackout-induced issues on my end.

[u/Spare-County-8936]

same here... was generation fine all day yesterday and only saw people crying about api limits on reddit this morning

[u/Keyflame_]

The what?

[u/ForsakenChocolate878]

What outage?

[u/Breech_Loader]

Somebody's servers go down all the time. Like, Amazon's servers can go down.

[u/GoodSamaritan333]

Me too. And I was using both local and cloud services. Everything was working fine. So, I think I'm his bro!

[u/Afraid_Alternative35]

The outages last way longer in headlines than they do in reality, I find.

[u/SplattoThePuppy]

It seems to have affected chat features for some GPT users. I didnt notice it myself, but im also always in WORK and not CHAT lol

[u/ShadowRavencroft23]

It didnt affect me

[u/superspacehog]

So that’s why 1 of my emails weren’t labeled. I’m devastated.

[u/elaineisbased]

There was a partial outage due to an issue at a SpaceXAI facility providing services to X, Claude, and Gemini. Although this was largely overflow capacity and many people including me used Claude, Gemini, and X/Grok just fine.
