ChatGPT continues to break records: the number of active users has doubled
ChatGPT has achieved a significant milestone by reaching a new record of gathering 200 million weekly active users. This number has doubled since November of last year. The increase in active users coincided with the release of GPT-4o mini by OpenAI, leading to a notable surge in API usage as well.
According to OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, the company has experienced remarkable growth, with annual revenue soaring to $3.4 billion from $1.6 billion at the end of 2023. This growth trajectory has captured the attention of tech giants such as Apple, Nvidia, and Microsoft.
Reports suggest that Apple, Nvidia, and Microsoft are in talks for a new round of investment in OpenAI. This new investment round could potentially catapult OpenAI's valuation to over $100 billion. Microsoft has already shown a strong commitment to artificial intelligence with investments totaling $13 billion since 2019. Additionally, Apple is looking to incorporate ChatGPT technology into its upcoming products, signaling a promising future for OpenAI's innovations.
