No, ChatGPT is not down.
Currently it looks like all ChatGPT systems are operational.

What to do next
If ChatGPT is down, do not just keep refreshing.
First confirm whether the issue is local or platform-wide. Then move quickly to a fallback workflow so your writing, research, or coding session does not stall while OpenAI resolves the incident.
Before you assume it is down
- Refresh the page and retry in an incognito window to rule out cached session issues.
- Check whether the problem affects all prompts or only a single conversation, file upload, or login flow.
- Check OpenAI's official status page before treating the problem as a broad outage.
If it really is down
- Wait for the next official incident update instead of repeatedly retrying requests that are already failing.
- Avoid discarding active work. Draft prompts and notes elsewhere so you can resume once the service stabilizes.
- Move the task to another leading model temporarily if the job is time-sensitive.
Memorised alternative
Memorised is the alternative to ChatGPT when you need ChatGPT and more than ChatGPT.
Memorised gives you ChatGPT alongside other leading AI models in one workspace. If ChatGPT goes down, slows down, or becomes unreliable, you can keep moving without losing your prompts, project context, or workflow.
The practical pitch
ChatGPT is powerful, but a single-model workflow is fragile. The moment one provider has an outage, your momentum breaks. Memorised fixes that by giving you a unified AI workspace with multiple frontier models available in the same place.
That means you can start in ChatGPT, switch to another model when needed, compare outputs, and keep your work organized instead of scrambling across different products and subscriptions.
