ChatGPT Down: Eight Hours And Counting
It's been a dark day for ChatGPT
ChatGPT is suffering from a prolonged outage, which has seen the service disrupted for more than eight hours.
The OpenAI service status page reported that 'some users are experiencing elevated error rates and latency across the listed services.' from around 4am ET. As of 11:15 ET, the service is still struggling, with OpenAI reporting that it's 'still working on implementing the mitigation for this issue."
The 'partial outage' is disrupting ChatGPT, the Sora video generation service and the company's APIs.
Although the ChatGPT site appears to be functional, responses to queries have been slow or showing error messages for several hours. The 'too many requests'" error appeared when I entered a prompt shortly before this article was published, with the service appearing to slow down further with more of the U.S. entering working hours.
This is a breaking news story. More to follow.

Wikipedia halts experiment with AI-generated article summaries. Following a slew of complaints from editors, a Wikimedia Foundation spokesperson confirmed to 404 Media that it's pausing the two-week test, which began on June 2nd. The experiment put AI-generated summaries at the top of articles for users who opted in. One editor responded to the idea by saying, 'Just because Google has rolled out its AI summaries doesn't mean we need to one-up them.'

Android 16 QPR1 Beta 2 Wallpaper Studio offers a home for its best customization tools
Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Google's been refreshing its Wallpapers & style app for Android 16 QPR1 with new features like Magic Portrait and theme support. With QPR1 Beta 2 the company has started grouping together its wallpaper creation and editing tools under a new Wallpaper Studio banner. This replaces the previous 'suggested photos' view. When you're interested in customizing the look and feel of your Pixel phone, there's probably nowhere better to start than Google's own Wallpaper & style app. It already offered a ton of control over setting up both your lock screen and home screen, and it's only been getting better as of late, thanks to some smart UI updates in QPR1 Beta 1. With this week's release of QPR1 Beta 2 we've been digging around in search of everything new Google's managed to cook up, and have identified some further improvements hitting Wallpaper & style. In Android 16 QPR1 Beta 2, when you go to select a wallpaper in the Wallpaper & style app (or simply accessed through system settings) you'll discover a new Wallpaper Studio section up top. Now we should be clear that functionally we're not seeing anything new here; the actual wallpaper creation and editing tools found with this release are all ones we were already aware of, but are now being grouped together in this convenient fashion. That offers a one-stop shop for not just generating emoji wallpaper, but also taking advantage of Google's powerful effects and AI tools. Those include options like making pseudo-3D effects with Cinematic wallpapers or tapping into the generative power of the AI wallpaper tools Google introduced with the Pixel 8 series. Maybe the coolest present here is the Magic Portrait feature we only just got to know with QPR1 Beta 1, which beyond offering some clever framing modes allows you to do stuff like applying dynamic weather effects, helping your phone's wallpaper reflect the world around you. While we'd definitely love to see Wallpaper & style pick up even more functionality along that line, a little UI cleanup and the introduction of this appropriate Wallpaper Studio branding is just fine by us, too. Keep checking in with Android Authority for even more coverage of the changes Google's packed into QPR1 Beta 2. We've already spotted things like a status bar reorganization and smarter volume controls, and you had better believe that the list will only keep growing. Got a tip? Talk to us!

Altman-Backed Coco Robotics Raises $80 Million for Delivery Bots
Coco Robotics, an urban delivery startup using small autonomous robots, has secured $80 million in new funding from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and other investors, Bloomberg reported Wednesday. The financing round was led by venture capital firm SNR, with participation from Pelion Venture Partners, Offline Ventures, and Max Altman, Sam's brother. The latest investment brings Coco's total raised capital to over $110 million. The company did not disclose a new valuation. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Sign with DASH. Founded in 2020 and formally known as Cyan Robotics Inc., the Santa Monica-based startup deploys about 1,300 cooler-sized electric robots across cities including Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles and Helsinki. The devices deliver food and small packages and are integrated into logistics platforms from Uber Technologies Inc. (UBER) and DoorDash Inc. (DASH, Financials). Coco also works directly with merchants and recently deepened its partnership with OpenAI. Under a March agreement, the company uses OpenAI's language and vision models alongside its own software stack to help its robots navigate obstacles and make real-time decisions. The two firms also share data from delivery routes to train AI systems. However, CEO Zach Rash said Sam Altman was not involved in structuring that collaboration. Coco is one of several startups racing to bring robotics to last-mile delivery logistics, a segment where cost-cutting and speed remain key challenges. Despite the sector's volatility, investors are betting that Coco's full-stack software and early commercial traction can differentiate it in a growing market.
