January brought a packed set of updates to StatusGator – from better ways to organize and analyze your monitors, to new API capabilities and expanded security controls. Here’s a quick recap of everything that rolled out.

This report presents status data for eight major AI systems during January 2026: Anthropic, Cohere, DeepSeek, Google Gemini, Groq Cloud, OpenAI, Perplexity, Replicate, and xAI. The data includes official incidents reported on provider status pages and detection information from IsDown's monitoring system.

January 2026 saw a wave of high-impact service disruptions across social platforms, telecom providers, developer tools, education services, and streaming apps. In several cases, StatusGator detected problems minutes or even hours before providers publicly acknowledged them, and in many cases, providers never acknowledged them at all. Unfortunately, many providers still do not have public status pages, leaving users with little visibility into what is happening during an outage.

We’re excited to roll out an improvement many of you have been asking for: extended historical metrics for website and ping monitors. Until now, monitor metrics like availability, downtime, and response times were limited to the last 24 hours. While useful for short-term checks, this made it harder to spot trends, investigate intermittent issues, or understand long-term performance. That changes today.

We're excited to announce a new way to interact with IsDown: the MCP Server. Now you can query your monitoring data directly from AI assistants like Claude.

We recently launched monitor groups, making it easier to organize monitors on your boards and status pages. Now that same functionality is available in the StatusGator API, so you can manage monitor groups programmatically. The API now supports listing, creating, updating, and deleting monitor groups on a board. You can also assign or remove monitors from groups when creating or updating a monitor.

At the start of 2026, we’re sharing our final quarterly product update for 2025, followed by a recap of the year’s most important StatusHub improvements.

This report covers the operational status of major AI systems during December 2025, including Anthropic, Cohere, DeepSeek, Google Gemini, Groq Cloud, OpenAI, Perplexity, Replicate, and xAI. The data encompasses official incidents reported by providers and monitoring insights from IsDown's detection system.

We’ve added a new enhancement to the StatusGator API that makes it faster and easier to identify service issues in real time: status-based filtering for monitors and components.
