Gemini Outage Mostly Resolved: What Went Wrong for Google's AI

From CNET: Google's Gemini outage which prevented people who use Google apps and services for work should be over now. The company confirmed at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET on Wednesday that all affected users should be good to go in a dashboard status page.

Gemini users got an unpleasant surprise on Wednesday when the company's AI assistant wasn't working properly. DownDetector received over 1,600 reports of malfunctions during peak work hours. (DownDetector is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.) Those reports fell throughout the day as Google rolled out fixes.

It's unclear how many Google users were affected. The issue was limited to Gemini in Google Workspace, which includes Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and the Gemini app. The service disruption is affecting people on MacOS, web, iOS, Gemini in Chrome and Android. Errors are popping up with codes 1099 and 1076, saying, "Something went wrong."
