The startup OpenAI, which launched in 2022, is rapidly making strides in the field of artificial intelligence. Founded by Sam Altman, the company now boasts over 200 million weekly active users.
OpenAI and its chatbot ChatGPT have successfully integrated into everyday use. The artificial intelligence platform has reached a remarkable milestone, as it currently has over 200 million active users each week.
The realm of artificial intelligence has experienced significant expansion in recent years, encompassing diverse areas such as music and, more recently, the development of personal assistants by tech giants like Google. One trailblazer that has maintained a prominent role in this ecosystem is OpenAI with ChatGPT. According to Axios, the company has doubled its weekly user count compared to last year, achieving the impressive figure of 200 million.
The introduction of a lighter model with GPT-4o has also encouraged numerous businesses to embrace the technology. OpenAI reported that an astounding 92% of Fortune 500 companies utilize its tools, a claim that has drawn comments from Sam Altman.
In light of this rapid growth, many companies are eager to invest in OpenAI. As reported by The Wall Street Journal, investors such as Apple and Nvidia are in discussions regarding a funding round that could value the company at over $100 billion.
Microsoft, despite its aspirations for independence, continues to be one of OpenAI’s primary investors and is expected to participate in this funding round as well. The company has leveraged ChatGPT’s language model to create its own generative AI chatbot, Copilot, which is already featured in many PCs.
