According to the source, the outages were reported through user reports and company status pages.

The full discussion can be found on Bloomberg Podcast's YouTube channel.
It described the incident as a simultaneous disruption across OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI, which is Space x AI in the transcript.
Why simultaneous outages matter
Three simultaneous outages at top US model makers is rare, and it raises questions about shared infrastructure dependencies.
