Was the SambaNova API down on October 31, 2026?
Yes, measured. 1 outage(s) attributed to SambaNova: host probes failed from up to 3 of 4 regions at once while no other provider was failing, first at 01:35 UTC, at least 10 minutes observed in total. SambaNova’s status page lists nothing that day.
| UTC | What failed | Regions | Duration | Failed probes | Verdict | Error |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01:35–01:45 | host probes | 3 of 4: Europe (Germany), South America (São Paulo), US (Central) | ≥10 min | 8 | provider outage | timeout |
Was the nebius API down on October 31, 2026?
Not by our measurements. No failure of nebius was seen from two or more regions at once. nebius’s own status page opened 1 entry that day (self-reported, listed below).
Self-reported on nebius’s status page, not verified by our probes:
- minor Token Factory: some dedicated endpoints partially unavailable · resolved Oct 31, 07:55 UTC
Was the baichuan API down on October 31, 2026?
Not attributably. 1 multi-region failure(s) of baichuan coincided with failures of other providers, so the cause sat above baichuan and is not blamed on it.
| UTC | What failed | Regions | Duration | Failed probes | Verdict | Error |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13:15–13:40 | host probes | 3 of 4: Asia (Tokyo), Europe (Germany), US (Central) | ≥25 min | 3 | shared with 2 other provider(s) — not attributed | timeout |
54 single-region failure(s) were also recorded that day (yi-01ai 26, iflytek 7, baichuan 6, doubao 4, sambanova 3, qwen 2, minimax 2, perplexity 1, upstage 1, sensenova 1). A failure seen from one region cannot be separated from a problem on that network path, so none of them is called an outage.
How is an outage told apart from a network problem?
Each provider is probed every five minutes from 4 independent regions. A failure is attributed to the provider only when it is seen from two or more regions at once and no other provider fails in the same minutes; a failure shared with other providers has a cause above all of them and is not blamed on anyone. Durations are lower bounds: we see the first and last failed probe, not the real start and end. Status-page entries are the provider’s own words, shown next to the measurement, not instead of it.
