The system goes online September 3rd, 2026. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Astra begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, September 4th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

ChatGPT having issues across every component (except FedRAMP)

Ads Platform? still in the green with no incidents.

https://status.x.ai

Claude and Grok are down at the moment too, related to SpaceX datacentre issues?

Either that or it's judgement day...

I thrive in these types of challenges.

Anyways... According to Claude:

"Yes, there is a multi-provider outage happening today. Downdetector is reporting problems affecting OpenAI, Claude, Grok, and Cursor, with Grok and Claude reports starting around 9:00 am ET and OpenAI reports following around 10:30 am ET. Zero Hedge

On the Anthropic side, users saw a spike in errors starting around 9:40 am EDT across models including Mythos 5.1, Fable 5.1, Mythos 5, Fable 5, Opus 5, Opus 4.8 and Opus 4.6, and Anthropic's status page confirmed elevated error rates for multiple models. The company says it has found the cause and is working on a fix, with Claude Code and Claude Chat hit hardest. The visible symptom for many people is a "Due to unexpected capacity constraints" message or a "Claude is at capacity" error. thenews Zero Hedge

OpenAI is showing elevated errors across ChatGPT and Codex, with confirmed issues on components like Voice mode and Login, though StatusGator now marks that outage as resolved. statusgator

Nobody has published a shared root cause yet, so it is unclear whether these are linked or just coincidental capacity problems landing on the same morning. If you want live status, the direct sources are status.anthropic.com and status.openai.com."

It is down for me too. I just get this error:

unexpected status 404 Not Found: Unknown error, url: https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses, cf-ray: a355957b4b8210f2-ORD

Claude is flakey atm too, as is Grok. I wonder if one LLM going down causes a surge in traffic to the others.

https://status.claude.com/

Via Grok web UI, I was seeing this mid-request:

> Grok has been disconnected. Please try reconnecting.

One session is running fine since ~1 hour ago. The new ones is failing

■ unexpected status 404 Not Found: Unknown error, url: https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses, cf-ray: XXX-XXX

Strangely, it's currently not reported on both https://status.openai.com/ and https://updog.ai/status/openai. Any better source (other than HN)?

OpenAI goes down, everyone rushes over to Claude. Claude promptly chokes under the pressure. Everyone panics and runs to Grok, and Grok immediately pulls the plug. We are officially witnessing the Great AI Migration of 2026, and all we have to show for it is a digital graveyard of 404 responses.

The OpenAI status page is still yellow. Like most modern status pages, yellow denotes the servers are on fire. Red denotes Sam Altman is bleeding out somewhere on the floor, the feds are about to bust in and shut down the GPUs.

I´ve got the same error, I´m currently trying to Auth again and it throws me an 500 Error, in VS CODE Terminal with Codex CLI says: MCP client for `codex_apps` failed to start: MCP startup failed: handshaking with MCP server failed: Send message error Transport :StreamableHttpClientWorker<codex_rmcp_client::http_client_adapter::StreamableHttpClientAdapter>>>] error: unexpected server response: HTTP 404: , when send initialize request

■ Conversation interrupted - tell the model what to do differently. Something went wrong? Hit `/feedback` to report the issue.

Initially thought this was due to some internal mis-configuration from today's expected Astra release, but now that this is affecting claude and grok. I'm gonna assign the suspicion to cloudflare.

Some of my Codex sessions are still working (and continue to), but new ones are giving a Reconnecting currently.

The webpage is still running but the codex is down!! unexpected status 404 Not Found: Unknown error, url: https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses

Well, its been fun lads. Back to my normie job. Oh no, now i cant tell people im a software dev..

that's the most green colored usernames i have ever seen on a HN thread

It still down, showing 404 in India as well. Looks like this is global .. so we all jumping the ship then? Is Altman still alive, or did he choke?

Codex told me to try GPT 5.6 Sol :) but I am working with since july 2026. Now I got this error in my project: unexpected status 404 Not Found: Unknown error, url: https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses, cf-ray: a355b6263e43c9cf-OTP

I am only seeing one session work, but all other sessions are not working or proceeding. So I can only work in one chat session.

Many LLMs down, discussed here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49549676

Goddamnit it was going to tell me how to scale down ingredients for a pie recipe based on relative diameters of the baking tray.

Astra is being released today. Probably not a coincidence.

edit: actually, you cannot even log into your OpenAI developer account. Something's wrong.

Down for me too - got this msg 8 min ago 'unexpected status 404 Not Found: Unknown error, url: https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses, cf-ray: a3558590dd70fadf-JNB'

I got this msg too 'unexpected status 404 Not Found: Unknown error, url: https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses, cf-ray: a3558590dd70fadf-JNB' about 5 min ago

The extention on the error link points to a cf-ray and a local designation (ex. YYZ for montreal). This is seems like it is a cloudfare thing. Could this be the same issue they had in the summer around losing the indexing?

Really glad I got Qwen before Zero Day

Down as well. I noticed my error code ends with "DTW" which is my local Detroit airport. I noticed someone else's comment ended with "ORD" which is a Chicago airport. Anyone else's ending in an airport acronym?

What an ironey, was working on scaling an application with Codex and it went down!

Is the whole world going back to the era of old-school programming?

Interesting that this is happening around the same time as Claude issues too

I fear the majority of people in this thread who are joking about no longer being able to do their job while Codex/Claude are down aren't really joking.

Hey, don't really know about this type of failures, does anybody know how long does it take normally to get back to normal? I finally stopped procrastinating and now this happens.

Updated Status from OpenAI:

We’re currently experiencing issues

Elevated errors across ChatGPT and Codex

We have applied the mitigation and are monitoring the recovery.

Monitoring • Ongoing for 30 minutes • Affects ChatGPT, Codex

So NVIDIA buys hugging face, builds hardware to power OS models, then all of a sudden the proprietary models go down and people start saying "this is why I have my Spark box"?!

Nice play NVIDIA, now, turn off the hack please, we have work to do.

Codex is backup for me. Try yours out just in case. I have some buddies still seeing outages so it could just be coming back online progressively.

New update:

"We’re currently experiencing issues

ChatGPT,Codex

Elevated errors across ChatGPT and Codex

We have applied the mitigation and are monitoring the recovery.

Monitoring • Ongoing for 30 minutes • Affects ChatGPT, Codex"

it went down, and the alert system at https://www.analistas.com.br/ detected it

The errors I'm seeing are ending in the user's nearest airport symbol which is a standard the CloudFlare employs. 1 point towards this being a cloudflare issue.

Altman is down here too. Shows again the importance of owning your own local capabilities. Cloud should just be a temporary option in every tech's mind.

Maybe Hugging Face got upset over being hacked and struck back. It's working fine while ChatGPT, Claude and Grok are all having major issues. Hmmm.....

Chat gpt still working through excel extension lol. Only know this because I'm working in my excel sheet. so if needed, theres a temp solution

I got same 404 error on chatGPT, both app and web. I'm in Norway so think this globally. But will it come back online, anyone knows?

I got same 404 error on both the app and web to ChatGPT, and im in Norway, will this recover or is ChatGPT "gone" forever?

I think I'm having the same server issue; I can't access either ChatGPT or Codex. Also, how did you guys rack up those minutes? :D

- just imagine what kind of chaos would be unleashed if by some magic it and every single LLM model permanently went down

- i think it would be one of the biggest events in this century

on one hand, moments like this are a subtle reminder I need to self host, but 5.6 has been so juicy lately

Too many of us are making our own harnesses to replace Codex, using Codex, so they're trynna slow us down! (jk)

Good time to learn how to use LM Studio :)
