As we know, OpenAI’s ChatGPT is extremely popular. Millions of users and thousands of companies use this platform to boost productivity and answer questions. Despite the competition in the AI market, it remains at the top of the pack. According to a new report, ChatGPT just crossed 200 million users.
ChatGPT was the first major chatbot to the market (Meta actually released Blenderbot a few months before it), and it’s been the face of generative AI. Much to Google’s disdain, it eventually reached more than 100 million users before too long. Gemini, on the other hand, has been trailing behind ChatGPT ever since the Bard days. As gen-AI becomes more present in our daily lives, we expect the competition to heat up.
ChatGPT crossed 200 million weekly active users
ChatGPT’s user base is on the rise as more people are looking to get a slice of that AI pie. OpenAI officially announced this on Thursday. What’s impressive is how quickly the numbers are rising. Its number of weekly users has doubled since November last year. From the way it looks, it took the company one year to get to 100 million users, and just nine months to reach 200 million.
OpenAI says that 92% of Fortune 500 companies use ChatGPT. However, you’ll need to take that figure with a grain of salt. This statistic most likely points to 92% of a number of surveyed companies. In any case, that’s still an impressive number. “People are using our tools now as a part of their daily lives, making a real difference in areas like healthcare and education,” the company said in a statement.
ChatGPT usage is only going to grow over time, as OpenAI has some major releases coming soon. Firstly, it’s testing out its new SearchGPT search engine. This will probably be the most popular AI search engine on the market when it launches.
Next, OpenAI is working on launching GPT-5. This will be the company’s next step toward AGI (artificial general intelligence).
