OpenAI, an AI firm, announced on Thursday that ChatGPT, its chatbot, now has over 200 million active weekly users—double what it had during the previous autumn season. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that the AI chatbot, which was launched in 2022, has 100 million weekly active users and can produce human-like responses in response to user queries.

According to OpenAI, 92 per cent of Fortune 500 businesses use its solutions, and since ChatGPT-4o mini's July release, the number of users connecting with the company's automated Application Programming Interface, or API, has doubled.

GPT-4o mini is an economical compact AI model designed to lower the cost and energy consumption of the startup's technology so that it may reach a wider consumer base. The rise in the popularity of AI and the sharp increase in OpenAI's valuation, which is based in San Francisco, can be attributed to ChatGPT.

Not only that, adding the visual and voice capabilities with the new model has also grabbed the attention from all over the world.

Separately, the US Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute said earlier in the day that AI startups OpenAI and Anthropic had agreements with the government of the United States for the study, testing, and assessment of their AI models.
