Is Lightning AI down?
Lightning AI looks healthy. The official status page reports all systems operational and our independent checks are passing.
Lightning AIdown detector & server status
Is Lightning AI down or not working right now? This live Lightning AI down detector combines Lightning AI's official status feed, our own independent checks, and first-party user reports — and shows whether it's the Lightning AIAPI, the app, or a specific capability that's affected, plus the upstream AI provider it depends on. Use it to tell whether Lightning AIis having an outage today, and whether it's down for everyone or just you.
Crowd signal — your reports, not our automated checks.

12,960reachable checks. The line plots the median of each interval, so one timeout can't spike it, and we lead with the median rather than an average, which a single slow response would skew. Failed checks are excluded: a timeout is not a response time.
Responding normally (~133 ms typical).
Uptime & history
Tracking since Jun 22, 2026% of our checks that found Lightning AI fully operational — a degraded check counts against it, because a slow or partly-broken service is not a working one. Down and degraded time are counted at our 5-minute check resolution, so both are approximate. Longer windows fill in as data accrues — we never show uptime we haven't measured.

Recent incidents
No recent incidents reported on Lightning AI's official status page. Historical incident tracking begins once our database is live — for now, see the official status page.
What this page can and can't tell you
- How we decide. We combine Lightning AI's official status feed, our own independent check from US East (Virginia), and first-party reports from readers. The confidence badge shows how many of those signals agree.
- On root cause. We have no visibility inside Lightning AI's systems. We report what the signals show rather than guessing at an internal cause.
- Outages are rarely all-or-nothing. Some are regional. Some hit one surface while the rest works, so the Lightning AI API can fail while the app is fine. The capability panel breaks it down.
- Green doesn't mean everyone. If our check reaches Lightning AIbut you can't, the problem is more likely local: your network, a VPN, browser extensions, or cache.
Frequently asked
Is Lightning AI down right now?+
Right now, Lightning AI appears to be operational. Lightning AI looks healthy. The official status page reports all systems operational and our independent checks are passing.
Is there a Lightning AI down detector?+
Yes — this page is a live Lightning AI down detector. It combines Lightning AI's official status feed, our own independent reachability check, first-party user reports, and the AI dependency graph, then shows a confidence level so you can tell a real outage from a local glitch. Lightning AI is currently operational. We only show signals we can actually verify — never invented report totals.
Is there a Lightning AI outage today?+
No active Lightning AI outage is detected right now — it appears operational. For past incidents and dated outage recaps, see Lightning AI's status history below.
What is Lightning AI's server status and API status right now?+
Lightning AI is currently operational. Server status and API status aren't always the same — the Lightning AI API can fail while the web app works, or vice-versa. The capability panel on this page breaks status down by surface (API, app, and any image/voice features) so you can see exactly which part is affected.
Is the Lightning AI API down? (Lightning AI API status)+
Check the API row in the capability panel above — Lightning AI is currently operational overall, but the API can carry its own status. For developers, "Lightning AI API status" problems usually surface here first, because we read Lightning AI's own status feed and watch the API surface directly.
Why is Lightning AI slow or not working?+
Common causes are an upstream provider incident, API rate limits during peak demand, a regional CDN issue, or maintenance. Lightning AI is currently operational. We show the official status, our independent check, and a confidence level so you can see which signals point to a real problem.
Is Lightning AI down for everyone or just me?+
We check Lightning AI from our own servers, independent of your device or network, and combine that with Lightning AI's official feed and user reports. If our independent check reaches Lightning AI but you can't, the problem is most likely local — try a different network, disable a VPN/extensions, or clear your cache. If our check and the official status both show problems, Lightning AI is down for everyone.
How can I tell if it's Lightning AI or my own connection?+
AIDownCheck runs an independent reachability check from our own servers, separate from Lightning AI's official status page. If our check passes but you still can't connect, the problem is more likely local — try a different network, clear your cookies, disable VPN/extensions, or use a different browser. If our check is failing too, it's more likely Lightning AI's side.
What can I use while Lightning AI is down?+
Good alternatives include Baseten, Modal. We track their live status too, so you can switch to one that's currently operational.
Where is Lightning AI's official status page?+
Lightning AI's official status page is at https://status.lightning.ai. AIDownCheck reads it automatically and combines it with our own checks — so you get the answer without juggling tabs.
