ChatGPT’s weekly active user account has reached new heights of over 200 million people, according to OpenAI.
The new figure represents massive growth for the company, doubling the weekly users it saw in November last year.
Additionally, the company said that 92 per cent of Fortune 500 firms use its products, demonstrating just how much generative AI is being used daily by companies around the world.
OpenAI’s release of a cheaper and smarter ChatGPT model, GPT-4o Mini, has made the technology more accessible and powerful and thus more widely used, leading to the company’s API usage doubling.
In a statement celebrating the one-year anniversary of ChatGPT Enterprise being launched, Open AI’s go-to-market team lead of financial services and insurance, Adam Goldberg, celebrated the incorporation of AI in everyday workspaces to improve productivity.
“It’s officially been a year since we launched ChatGPT Enterprise, so we’re taking a moment to highlight how some of our amazing customers think about AI strategy,” said Goldberg.
“A customer that stands out to me personally is PwC, as they’ve provided every employee in their US and UK offices with access to their own AI assistant.
“Toby, the AI leader for their UK Deals business, shares that they’re seeing people start with micro-tasks like company research, content drafting, and document summarisation. As they continue using ChatGPT Enterprise for tasks like these, they begin integrating AI into more complex workflows and larger projects over time.“
With the success of ChatGPT, OpenAI has had a number of rival generative AI chatbots spawn from Meta, Microsoft, Google, and X.
Meta’s AI, which is built into its Facebook Messenger and was only launched in April this year, already has over 400 million monthly active users and 185 million weekly active users, hot on the heels of ChatGPT. It is also worth mentioning that Meta AI has yet to be rolled out in the UK, the EU and Brazil.
That being said, OpenAI’s success has piqued the interest of tech giants Apple and Nvidia, which are rumoured to be in talks about investing in OpenAI in a new round of fundraising. Microsoft, which is already a big backer of the AI giant, is also expected to invest. Together, the round would see the value of OpenAI surpass US$100 billion.
