OpenAI says ChatGPT reached 1.2 billion weekly users and its search volume is about a fifth of Google's
ChatGPT consumer lead Adam Fry told Big Technology the service added 200 million weekly users in 60 days, makes 1.5 billion images a week and has 250 million weekly voice users; the search comparison is OpenAI's own analysis.
Why it matters
These are the first growth figures OpenAI has put on the record since ChatGPT passed 1 billion weekly users, and the search comparison is the first time it has sized ChatGPT against Google's query volume. Fry also confirmed plans to merge ChatGPT's Chat and Work modes and discussed the cost to serve its assistant Dots. The numbers come from an on-stage interview, not a filing, and the 20% figure covers search-like queries as OpenAI defines them. Watch whether Alphabet or independent trackers dispute the comparison.
