August 30, 2024 – A groundbreaking revelation by tech news outlet Axios has unveiled that OpenAI’s AI chatbot has surpassed a monumental milestone, amassing over 200 million weekly active users – a staggering doubling in just a single year. This rapid expansion underscores the unprecedented demand for intelligent conversational interfaces.
Moreover, OpenAI boasts an impressive penetration within the Fortune 500, with an astonishing 92% of these prestigious corporations embracing their offerings. The company’s momentum further accelerated post the July launch of GPT-4o mini, as evidenced by a twofold surge in the utilization of its automated API services.
Sam Altman, the visionary CEO of OpenAI, shared a heartening message in a statement to Axios: “People are integrating our tools into their daily lives, where they’re making a tangible difference in sectors like healthcare and education. They’re assisting with routine tasks, tackling intricate challenges, and unleashing boundless creativity.”
Amidst this thriving landscape, the competition for user adoption remains intense, with tech giants Microsoft, Google, OpenAI itself, and Meta fiercely vying for consumers’ preferences in the chatbot arena.
In a parallel development, Meta announced earlier on Thursday that its open-source Llama model has witnessed a remarkable surge in adoption. With the release of Llama 3.1, between May and July this year, utilization on major cloud platforms doubled, signifying a growing appetite for advanced AI capabilities.
