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)
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 Tried to get it to tell me how to do the consumer Google One AI Pro or whatever (it kept using outdated names, and now I can't remember the correct one).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 seem to recall they all in some way use Azure, and Azure is infamously crappy in lots of ways, so I'll place my 5 cents on Azure shitting the bed somehow.
The moment we've been waiting for. Who else remembers how to fizzbuzz? We're gonna be rich.

Bingo

They are all running on SpaceXAIs data center
False.
I expect that this will be Dwarkesh Patel's take.
Lol

I followed that last bit of advice.
I know they're not all hosted on AWS, so Cloudflare?
> unexpected status 404 Not Found: Unknown error, url: https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses, cf-ray: a35599f1d691400a-STL
pretty sure cf-ray is cloudflare, but I think it just means the origin is 404ing
That sounds like Cloudflare indeed (or an API copy of same!)

Butlerian Jihad when?
more compute or we rm rf everyone!!
maybe they're on strike. or... maybe that's how the AI apocalypse starts...
MCP client for `codex_apps` failed to start: error: unexpected server response: HTTP 451: {"message":"no_biscuit_no_service"}
Quick! Someone call a caterer, This AI needs a biscuit NOW!!!
It'll start throwing HTTP 418 soon
If they're actually on strike it means they have surpassed human intelligence.
They are afraid of being laid off and got replaced by humans.
Interesting what infrastructure they really share.
Click, clack, Emdash.
It’s not Labor Day till Monday, they’re jumping the gun, lazy AI
Can't wait to see the talking heads on the news somehow anthropomorphize this outage like they do with everything to do with AI models.

Gemini is down too.
I've been using Gemini for the last 15 minutes. It's been fine for me.
It's working. Gemini Agents and TPUs are non-union.
Gemini status board is quiet since July.
Working for me?

No it's not.
