OpenAI says that more than 200 million people use ChatGPT each week, as first reported by Axios. OpenAI spokesperson Taya Christianson confirmed the number to The Verge, which is now double the 100 million weekly active users OpenAI reported last November.

Additionally, Christianson says that 92 percent of Fortune 500 companies are using OpenAI’s products, while API usage has doubled following the release of the company’s cheaper and smarter model GPT-4o Mini.

Since ChatGPT’s launch in late 2022, Google, Microsoft, and Meta have also launched AI chat interfaces of their own, but OpenAI’s user base continues to grow. Today, The Information reported that Meta’s AI assistant has at least 400 million monthly active users and 40 million daily active users.

Earlier today, the US AI Safety Institute also announced that OpenAI and Anthropic have agreed to let the government evaluate major AI models before being launched to the public. Reports are also circulating that Apple and Nvidia could be among OpenAI’s next round of investors.
