ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok hit by apparent widespread outage

Signal Summary
The report said SpaceXAI confirmed a service issue with Grok and that Claude appeared to be experiencing the same outage. OpenAI was also teasing GPT-6 Astra, but its possible September 3 launch remained a rumor; the source did not confirm a cause or link it to the outage.
Why It Matters
The incident affected three major AI services, with ChatGPT disruption spanning multiple platforms, so switching devices may not have resolved the problem for users. Some access was returning, but the outage’s cause and any connection to the Astra rumor remained unconfirmed.
