Despite the increasingly competitive AI market, OpenAI’s ChatGPT continues its rapid growth, adding 100 million users just months after announcing it had reached 200 million weekly active users in August, according to The Verge.
This milestone was revealed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman at The New York Times’ DealBook Summit. Altman stated, “Our product has scaled to over 300 million weekly active users,” highlighting that users are now sending over 1 million messages daily through ChatGPT.
New Features Fueling Growth
ChatGPT’s popularity has surged since its launch in November 2022, thanks to consistent updates and new functionalities aimed at enhancing user experience. Recent improvements include an AI search feature that summarizes web results and a Canvas interface that allows users to edit AI-generated text and code directly, without starting new queries.
Additionally, OpenAI’s collaboration with Apple has brought ChatGPT closer to users. With the iOS 18.2 update, currently in beta, ChatGPT is integrated into Siri, making it more accessible to Apple device users.
Looking Ahead
OpenAI is not slowing down. The company plans to expand ChatGPT’s reach to 1 billion people by next year, a goal that underscores its ambition to maintain a leading position in the AI industry, adds NIX Solutions. As developments continue, we’ll keep you updated on new features and integrations.
