OpenAI's ChatGPT experienced a brief web outage on April 6, 2026, with some users receiving empty responses for about two hours, though APIs and mobile apps remained unaffected; the issue resolved fully per the official status page, marking no incidents since in the past 30 days and maintaining 99.85% uptime. This minor disruption follows major February outages amid surging demand for the large language model, highlighting persistent infrastructure scaling challenges as OpenAI pushes advanced AI capabilities. Trader sentiment reflects historical patterns of intermittent errors during peak loads, with competitors like Anthropic's Claude facing similar issues. Watch status.openai.com for maintenance alerts or traffic spikes that could tip outage probabilities before resolution deadlines.
