OpenAI continues to gain popularity among consumers, reporting 400 million active users every week. This is significant growth, considering that in December 2024 the number of users was 300 million. Although the company does not disclose the number of subscribers to the paid versions of ChatGPT Plus or ChatGPT Pro, the surge in popularity is undeniable.
In the B2B segment, OpenAI is also showing success — the number of paid corporate users has reached two million, which is double compared to September 2024. This indicates a growing interest in implementing generative AI in business processes, which can significantly increase companies’ efficiency.
Additionally, OpenAI reports a doubling of traffic from developers using the company’s API over the past six months. This reflects the growing interest among developers in creating new applications based on OpenAI technologies, opening up new opportunities for integrating AI into various industries.
This data appeared shortly after the Chinese company DeepSeek introduced its new technologies, including an AI model, a reasoning model, and an assistant app. OpenAI aims to prove that its business continues to grow despite market competition.
