Report claims OpenAI is short on compute as Astra hits capacity errors
The post cites Astra draining usage fast, paused Pro sign-ups, and frequent "model is at capacity" errors as signs that OpenAI is running out of compute.
🚨 OpenAI is running out of compute I can confirm that open ai will be out of compute in short term Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen > GPT-6 Astra usage has been draining insanely fast for some users > OpenAI previously paused new $200 Pro sign-ups after Astra demand surged > We are now repeatedly seeing “Selected model is at capacity” > The same capacity errors have been reported across Astra and Sol > Some users are hitting usage limits after just a few short tasks > And they're now releasing $500 plan There’s even an open Codex issue documenting repeated server_overloaded errors on Astra and Sol OpenAI support reportedly confirmed that error means backend capacity not a user's usage limit The reason Anthropic will survive is that they have the backing of SpaceX's compute, and Elon is adding more In the long run, Grok is going to be the ultimate winner, as Elon has everything to win this race I feel bad for open ai honestly
