Something was felt across internet: OpenAI top exec after global AI outage

Thibault Sottiaux, OpenAI's engineering lead for Codex, reacted to simultaneous outages affecting major AI services, including ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude and X's Grok, on Thursday. "Something was felt across the internet today," he said. Soon after the incident, OpenAI released Astra, its most powerful AI model, which met Critical Cybersecurity Capability threshold under Preparedness Framework.
