OpenAI has announced its ChatGPT chatbot service has over 200 million weekly active users, double the 100 million users that were using ChatGPT this time last year. That’s a big upgrade in users, but ChatGPT has taken over the world.

ChatGPT was launched in 2022 capable of generating human-like responses based on user prompts, and had over 100 million weekly active users, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in November. The AI startup said that 92% of Fortune 500 companies are using its AI-powered products, and the use of its automated Application Programming Interface (API) allowing software programs to talk to each other, has double since ChatGPT-4o mini launched in July 2024.
ChatGPT-4o mini is a cost-effective, smaller AI model that is aimed at making its AI-powered technology more affordable, and it uses less power, allowing OpenAI to target a wider range of customers.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a statement shared with Axios: “People are using our tools now as a part of their daily lives, making a real difference in areas like healthcare and education-whether it’s helping with routine tasks, solving hard problems, or unlocking creativity“.
