Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

On Monday, November 7, local time, OpenAI CEO Sam Sam Altman announced that ChatGPT had 100 million weekly active users at the company's first developer conference.

Since Tuyuan Pexels launched its ChatGPT and Whisper models through API (application programming interface) in March this year, the company now has more than 2 million developers, including 92 per cent of Fortune 500 companies.

In addition to releasing the data at the developer conference, OpenAI detailed a series of new features, including a platform on which you can build a custom version of ChatGPT to help with specific tasks. The company also launched a new model, GPT-4 Turbo, whose knowledge base is updated until April 2023 and can contain the equivalent of more than 300 pages of text in a prompt.

Since its launch nearly a year ago, ChatGPT is widely regarded as the fastest-growing consumer Internet application in history, with about 100m monthly active users in just two months. By contrast, it took Facebook about four and a half years to reach 100 million users after its launch in 2004. It took X (formerly known as Twitter) more than five years and Instagram more than two years.

Microsoft said its Bing search engine added OpenAI GPT-4-driven generative artificial intelligence earlier this year, breaking the milestone of 100 million daily active users in March, more than a decade after its launch in 2009.

However, ChatGPT's record has been broken by Meta's Threads, which accumulated 100 million users less than a week after its launch in July. But in the months since then, Threads use seems to have declined. As of October, the number of monthly active users was less than 100 million.

No matter how you analyze the numbers, ChatGPT is still very popular, even though it has been launched to the public less than a year ago.

This is not the first time we have seen OpenAI's chat robot have a large number of users. Back in February, Similarweb estimated that the tool had reached a milestone of attracting 100 million unique visitors in a month and 25 million visitors a day. But it is worth noting that Monday's figures come from OpenAI officials, not third-party estimates.

Recently, there have been media reports that ChatGPT's popularity has begun to decline since its launch last November, and OpenAI seems to be releasing these figures to refute this claim.
