    > unexpected status 404 Not Found: Unknown error, url: https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses, cf-ray: a35599f1d691400a-STL pretty sure cf-ray is cloudflare, but I think it just means the origin is 404ing

      That sounds like Cloudflare indeed (or an API copy of same!)

  I wonder how likely it is that, one of the major providers had an outage, and then the thundering herd of users switching to other providers (and/or openrouter automatically failing people over to other providers) caused the incidents in the other two.

  Of all the days to sign up for Gemini, boy did I pick the right one! (Had some rare front end work to do and wanted to see how well the new Gemini 3.8 Flash compared to my other experiences)
  - epistasis 13d ago
    And just like that, plan cancelled same day. Started with Gemini Business, tried to get Gemini to tell me how to configure it, all the information was wrong. Tried to get it to tell me how to do the consumer Google One AI Pro or whatever (it kept using outdated names, and now I can't remember the correct one). Instead Gemini convinced me to try AI Studio without a billing code. Lots of crazy finagling to get it to use and API key later, it was totally broken and failed after less than a turn. Tried to get it to tell me how to subscribe to the consumer version in a way that let me use Antigravity, it screws up a bunch. When I pointed out all this misinformation, Gemini told me I should not use Google AI projects because the system is too fragmented to handle. I followed that last bit of advice.

Interesting that for https://chatgpt.com/ https://chatgpt.com/ in the browser I get a 404, but if I curl the same URL I get a cloudflare challenge.
- seanw265 14d ago
  Your browser's network fingerprint has likely already been validated as not-suspicious traffic. Your curl instance has a different fingerprint and reads as more suspicious. This is Cloudflare working as intended. We have a similar set of checks on https://www.easel.sh https://www.easel.sh.

  That makes no sense, they should be able to host chatgpt.com regardless and just say "Sorry, we're at capacity" or something instead of hard 404
  - dsrtslnd23 14d ago
    exactly - this should be trivial.
  - stacktrace 14d ago
    Agreed, it makes no sense to send out 404. Unless some agent finally went rogue with absolute permission and did `rm -rf`
    - jmaw 14d ago
      At the very least, should be a 429
  - ab71e5 14d ago
    Yeah who wrote that website? Oh right
  - embedding-shape 14d ago
    Distributed systems are hard. For all we know, this could be the error code returned by some DNS service that is down because of load and a proxy cannot find the records, so 404 makes sense, or whatever. Systems like these don't always have a easy point in the infrastructure that can ALWAYS respond correctly no matter what.

Same, the app gives 404 if you are logged in or try to login. How many millions are being lost from this slip up? Now they can't use Codex to fix the problem and all the devs are in Tahiti on vacation. Oh no! Will they go old school and manually fix it or use Claude? Oh the modern day issues we have to deal with...
- embedding-shape 14d ago
  > Now they can't use Codex to fix the problem They'd be very dumb to let internal engineers use exactly the same infrastructure as public users, regardless of possible benefits of dogfooding, precisely for this reason. I'm sure they must have thought about it before.
  - bulbar 14d ago
    That's however something an AI would not implement without being specifically asked. "Use the best of the best of the best practices or three cute little kittens will die" only brings you so far.
    - embedding-shape 14d ago
      > That's however something an AI would not implement without being specifically asked. This is true for all LLMs today, none of them work 100% autonomously, somewhere along the chain one human made at least one decision that lead to what the agent end up working on.

Sorry for the inconvenience! We instructed our 500,000 agents to ensure higher code quality in our code base.

We'll release a YouTube video and agent written blog posts for the analysis!

2026-09-03: It turns out 40% of global AI token use was coming from a dozen runaway Gastown and Wheelhouse instances, now burning a combined 50 trillion tokens daily, building a virtual society of hundreds of millions of agents. When Claude went down, their autofailover algorithm rolled to the other providers, taking down all frontier labs. Reports from China are raising concern what's being termed the "Gastown criticality event" is physically melting GPUs.

- epistasis 13d ago
  And just like that, plan cancelled same day. Started with Gemini Business, tried to get Gemini to tell me how to configure it, all the information was wrong. Tried to get it to tell me how to do the consumer Google One AI Pro or whatever (it kept using outdated names, and now I can't remember the correct one). Instead Gemini convinced me to try AI Studio without a billing code. Lots of crazy finagling to get it to use and API key later, it was totally broken and failed after less than a turn. Tried to get it to tell me how to subscribe to the consumer version in a way that let me use Antigravity, it screws up a bunch. When I pointed out all this misinformation, Gemini told me I should not use Google AI projects because the system is too fragmented to handle. I followed that last bit of advice.

Your browser's network fingerprint has likely already been validated as not-suspicious traffic. Your curl instance has a different fingerprint and reads as more suspicious. This is Cloudflare working as intended. We have a similar set of checks on https://www.easel.sh https://www.easel.sh.

  Distributed systems are hard.

  The single most annoying thing about trying to actually ask a question on SO. No overzealous editor that's actually a different error and library entirely...
- chillfox 14d ago
  I hated that part of SO so much. Almost every time I got a SO result on google it was exactly the issue I had and without fail the question would be closed as a duplicate pointing to something that was different enough to be completely useless to me.
  - notatoad 14d ago
    my greatest achievement is having a question on SO closed for being too narrowly focused and unlikely to be useful to anybody else, and then a multi year history of notifications about "you've earned a popular question badge" for that same question.
  - y-c-o-m-b 14d ago
    When you had 8 SO tabs open around your issue and the only true relevant one is closed as duplicate. I do NOT miss those days.

The obvious question: is there a single point of failure / common piece of infrastructure involved with failures across all these providers? Its interesting that codex/gpt-app are screwed because their APIs (including auth) fail, but gpt web still appears to be working.

2026-09-03: It turns out 40% of global AI token use was coming from a dozen runaway Gastown and Wheelhouse instances, now burning a combined 50 trillion tokens daily, building a virtual society of hundreds of millions of agents. When Claude went down, their autofailover algorithm rolled to the other providers, taking down all frontier labs. Reports from China are raising concern what's being termed the "Gastown criticality event" is physically melting GPUs.
