ChatGPT is down. Luckily I have a handful of local hosted tools that makes this not a huge pain in my ass. Imagine if you are running a service on their API?

The number of times this service has been down is really kinda nuts. They have been breaking the mold on tons of implementations and the connecting of agents and LLMs in a highly UX friendly way. I'm amazed they can stay ahead of everything so well... but their reliability has been anything but good, imo.

This is another huge reason why self-hosted options are so important. TF are we supposed to do when our productivity is 3x, but its all dependent on a central server and closed source Ai?
