Grok Outage: API Inference Drops to 71% Across Regions

SpaceXAI's status page shows a significant degradation in Grok API inference performance across multiple regions. While non-inference endpoints remain at 100%, inference success rates have fallen to as low as 71.05% in some areas, with most regions hovering around 75%. The outage has persisted for at least several minutes, with the status page last updated 28 seconds ago.

    Downdetector reports Claude, Grok, ChatGPT and Gemini with issues.

    Is it happening???

    It's interesting to see how reliant the other AI companies are on SpaceXAI for compute.

    Apparently a major bottleneck for building out datacenters is turbine blades for power plants, so SpaceX is building a foundry to alleviate supply constraints?! (Also useful for rocket engines.) Holy vertical integration, batman.

    Makes me wonder if openai is secretly querying claude for some prompts and that this is why it's down due to spacex's data centers being down.

    Interesting all major frontier models seemed down. What could this means?

    Claude and Codex were down too. A 3 month old github issue that was the top result for the error that Codex threw (a 404 of all things) briefly became a live chat for bored and annoyed AI users.

    For once I can find Grok-related news entertaining

    Time to finish up my $5 at Deepseek.

    I really wonder who uses or trusts this platform.

More from this day
