Why does Claude / GPT / Gemini keep failing?
Frontier AI APIs run on massive GPU fleets that are saturated near capacity most of the time. When a single component fails (a routing layer, a model deployment, a region) the impact tends to be visible immediately. Major providers average 1 to 3 user-visible incidents per month, with most resolving in under two hours.
Where do you get the incident data?
We pull from each provider's official status page, which they publish primarily for transparency and SLA accountability. Each incident links back to the source. We don't include incidents tagged as 'maintenance' unless they materially affected users.
How can I be alerted to AI outages?
Subscribe to our weekly newsletter (link in the footer). For real-time alerts, follow each provider's status page directly — most support RSS, email, and webhook subscriptions. Some teams pipe these into Slack or PagerDuty.
What should I do during an AI outage?
If your workload is critical, run a multi-provider fallback: try Claude if GPT is down, try Gemini if Claude is down, etc. Most modern AI SDKs (LangChain, LlamaIndex, OpenRouter) support automatic provider fallback. For chat use, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok rarely all go down at once.
