OpenAI's ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude, and SpaceXAI's Grok simultaneously experienced an outage due to failures in Microsoft Azure's East US region, while Google's Gemini platform remained operational because it runs on Google Cloud, highlighting risks of cloud dependency concentration in AI infrastructure.
