By TechShots Studio
ChatGPT, Claude and Grok experienced rare, near-simultaneous outages on September 3, affecting users across multiple platforms. OpenAI attributed ChatGPT’s disruption to a routing error, while xAI said Grok’s outage was caused by a failure at its Memphis compute centre. Anthropic reported an infrastructure issue affecting Claude. All three services were later restored, though no common cause was confirmed.
