OpenAI says ChatGPT's weekly users have grown to 200 million

SAN FRANCISCO (WAM)

AI startup OpenAI said its chatbot ChatGPT now has more than 200 million weekly active users, double the number it had in the last fall season, Reuters reported on Friday.

ChatGPT, launched in 2022, can generate human-like responses based on user prompts and had 100 million weekly active users, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman had said in November.

OpenAI said 92 percent of Fortune 500 companies are using its products and the use of its automated Application Programming Interface, or API, which allows software programs to talk to each other, has doubled since the launch of ChatGPT-4o mini in July.
