"We feel lucky to serve 5% of the world's population per week," OpenAI CEO Brad Lightcap said on platform X about the impressive figure.
Notably, the number of active weekly users of ChatGPT has now doubled compared to August 2024.
This new achievement comes after controversy surrounding the emergence of a new rival DeepSeek at the beginning of the year, raising questions about whether today's leading AI tools will soon be deposed.
However, OpenAI is taking strategic steps to strengthen its position, including simplifying the ChatGPT user experience, helping them not to need to choose a reasoning model before asking questions.
In addition, OpenAI is also preparing to launch GPT-4.5 and GPT-5 models. In particular, GPT-5 will be provided to all users for free, promising to significantly expand the user file in the near future.
ChatGPT's continued strong growth shows the growing demand for AI tools in life and work. With a strategy of expanding products and optimizing user experience, OpenAI not only maintains its leading position but also creates competitive pressure for competitors in the field of artificial intelligence.
In the context of the continuous development of AI technology, the race between AI platforms promises to be more volatile in the coming time.
