AI workflows completely screwed today?
It’s not you.
Grok went down.
Anthropic went down.
OpenAI & Codex started throwing errors.
All during the same morning.
Cool.
Grok started reporting model issues around 9:30 AM ET.
Claude has elevated errors across multiple models, Claude.ai, the API, and Claude Code.
OpenAI had issues too, although their status page currently shows ChatGPT and Codex recovered.
Three competing AI providers. Same morning.
⤷ And nobody has confirmed one shared cause yet.
This is the part of AI workflows people ignore.
Everyone wants agents running everything.
→ Automations everywhere.
Grok running another workflow.
Claude Code doing this.
Codex doing that.
Then half your setup stops working because the provider underneath your workflow is having a bad morning.
This is why I keep pushing tool-agnostic workflows.
And why I keep my skills, prompts, files, and outputs local whenever possible. Your workflow should survive the provider having problems.
Because apparently today all three decided to test this at once.
Save your work locally today.
For real.
