ChatGPT Alpha Appearing Alongside High Demand Error Messages

Some ChatGPT users are experiencing high-demand errors on the OpenAI systems, and “ChatGPT Alpha” appears in the model selection dropdown.

In addition to the new voice features available for all ChatGPT users, is OpenAI about to launch ChatGPT Alpha?

OpenAI is working on elevated errors on the API and ChatGPT.

Once the error disappears, the dropdown selection looks like this.

As a ChatGPT Plus subscriber, after the Alpha disappears, it goes back to the usual GPT-4, GPT-3.5, and Plugins options.

Other Plus subscribers are also experiencing the issue.

And dealing with lost conversation history.

Is ChatGPT completely lost it? My history is gone, shoved me into ‘Alpha’, and won’t show me whether I’m logged in.

I was literally about to back up all my chats.

Is anyone else seeing this (as an existing Pro user)? pic.twitter.com/zm4D1z4sLK
