The popular AI assistant ChatGPT, and image generator Sora, suffered significant downtime as part of a major OpenAI outage today, June 10.
Downdetector showed reports regarding a ChatGPT outage started shortly before 12am PDT overnight and into June 10. This wasn’t the first time we’ve seen ChatGPT go down, with an outage also occurring back in December 2024.
The downtime in December was around four hours, with another outage in June 2024 lasting around five hours. Today’s outage lasted more than eight hours.
Are we going to be getting a lengthy outage every six months now? It’s sure to spark an internal review at OpenAI as it will want to avoid outages like this in the future.
Opera wants to move routine AI work out of distant data centers and onto the computer already sitting on your desk. Its new WebAI preview lets websites and browser extensions use local models inside Opera One without requiring another AI subscription or sending the information they handle to a cloud service.
WebAI also opens local AI to third-party developers instead of reserving it for Opera’s own features. Your laptop supplies the computing power, provided it has enough to spare.
