Update November 8, 11:05 EST: OpenAI says impacted services are back online.
OpenAI's AI-powered ChatGPT large language model-based chatbot is down because of a major ongoing outage that also took down the company's Application Programming Interface.
Today's issues follow another partial outage on Tuesday that also impacted the company's API and ChatGPT, both hit by periodic outages for several hours.
The ChatGPT chatbot was also down worldwide in May when the service was inaccessible for multiple hours.
Today's outage follows a Monday announcement when OpenAI said it's rolling out improvements and new features to its API and ChatGPT service.
OpenAI confirms it's not killing off ChatGPT plugins for now.
