Openai CEO Sam Altman said Monday that Chatgpt has reached 800 million weekly active users, increasing the adoption between consumers, developers, businesses and governments.
The impressive development of chatgpt comes as Openai is in a race to secure as many AI chips as possible and build as many AI infrastructure as possible. In August, Openai said it was on the edge of reaching 700 million weekly active users, already an increase of 500 million weekly active users in late March.
“Today, 4 million developers have built with Openai,” Altman said. “More than 800 people use chatgpt each week and we are working out over 6 billion brands per minute on API. Thanks to all of you, AI has gone from something people build play on something people build everyday.”
Altman made the announcement during Keynote’s presentation on Openai’s Dev Day, which also included a statement on new Chatgpt apps, as well as the construction of more complex systems.
“This will allow a new generation of applications that are interactive, adaptive and personalized, with which you can chat,” Altman said.
Started in November 2022, Chatgpt saw the user’s development almost immediately, making both AI product and one of the fastest growing electronic services ever. More recently, the tool has expanded to Openai Pulse preventive services, sending custom morning updates to participating users. The service has also been selected by concerns about the illusions caused by Sycophancy and delusional ideas, especially in the recent case of Allan Brooks, who was misled to believe that he had made a new mathematical discovery with the help of Chatgpt.
Still legally defined as a non -profit, Openai became the most valuable private company in the world on Thursday, after a private sale of $ 6.6 billion in stocks of $ 500 billion. The company has also launched new bloating products, releasing a new version of the Sora video production tool last week, combined with a social media network. On the same week, the company worked with Stripe to launch a platform for the Agentic Commerce.
