ChatGPT has returned online after a brief outage that affected thousands of users, with OpenAI reporting service restoration and highlighting the platform's rapid user growth since its launch.

The outage of ChatGPT underscores the increasing demand for AI services and the challenges that come with scaling technology to meet user expectations.

OpenAI's growth trajectory reflects a broader trend in the tech industry, where AI applications are rapidly gaining popularity and driving significant financial success.

As AI technology evolves, companies like OpenAI may face more frequent challenges related to service reliability, necessitating ongoing improvements in infrastructure and support.

The continued growth of user engagement with ChatGPT could lead to further innovations and features being added to the platform, enhancing user experience and expanding its capabilities.


ChatGPT, the AI chatbot developed by Microsoft-backed OpenAI, has resumed service after a brief outage that impacted thousands of users. According to a statement from OpenAI, the issues were resolved by 00:34 GMT on Saturday, following a disruption that began at 00:13 GMT, during which over 19,403 users reported problems via DownDetector, a site that monitors outages. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman acknowledged the downtime on Twitter, noting that while the company has improved its reliability, there is still more work to be done.

Since its launch in November 2022, ChatGPT has gained significant traction, reaching 250 million weekly active users. This rapid growth has contributed to a dramatic increase in OpenAI's valuation, which soared to $157 billion from $14 billion in 2021, driven by impressive revenue figures of $3.6 billion. The outage highlights the challenges of maintaining service reliability amidst such a large user base.
