OpenAI’s artificial intelligence ChatGPT is back online after the chatbot was briefly down for some users on Tuesday.
The company said earlier that it was “experiencing issues,” including “increased ChatGPT error rates,” according to an update on OpenAI’s status page.
On Tuesday evening, OpenAI said those issues had been resolved.
“Some users briefly ran into issues using ChatGPT earlier today because of a routing misconfiguration,” OpenAI said in a statement to CNBC. “It’s now fixed.
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 that an attacker “exported a dataset containing limited customer identifiable information and analytics information.”
The AI lab 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.
