Chatgpt Maker Openai says more than 400 million people a week now actively use their Artificial intelligence Tools, jump from 300 million He announced last December.
Openai imposed the figure this week, too telling media places That it has doubled to the number of users of a paid company to 2 million since September and that its developer's traffic has also doubled in the last six months.
The news may surprise people who were expecting an increase in China's Chinese Model of China To disrupt the growth of more established companies operating on generative AI. DeepSeek make waves last month With high -profile claims of more efficient models design and free -use levels.
Chatgpt of Openai has become wildly popular as a top tool for Generative AI and is used by individuals and businesses for a wide range of tasks. But it's one of the few AI tools of General in an increasingly competitive space that includes offers such as Apple intelligence, Hearing AI, Google's twins, Microsoft's copyte (Microsoft is a great investor in operas), Claude of Anthropic and others.
DeepSeek's debut has increased the possibility that there may be other triggers of AI's throne that are not that expensive and are more effective than the more AI models. But DeepSeek has trouble With computer attacks and interruptions.
Chief Operational Officer of Openai, Brad Lightcap, said CNBC that part of ChatGpt's growth comes from a word for consumers. “They see the tool for that. They see their friends how they use it, “Lightcap said. “There is a full effect on people who really love these tools and see that these tools are really valuable.”
COO said that the growth of companies is assisted by the use of non -business clients and that it expects many companies to come to rely on AI's services in the way they rely on cloud computing.
Others in the industry are carefully watching this for ChatGPT and whether the company will maintain its dominance. Dmitry Zakharhenko, Chief Software Officer of BlazesComputer Company AI Computer hardware based in El Dorado Hills, California, is among those following the AI war as it is.
Zaharhenko said the AI landscape had changed dramatically six months ago, when the prevailing belief is that there will be not enough electricity to power the exponentially growing needs of AI in a few years.
“Deepsekek has sent a signal to the AI market that the trend of impossible costs is now officially completed,” Zaharhenko said. “The market has received the signal, and Openai has begun to say that they are becoming smaller and will continue to be, melting budgets and renewing the consumed generation AI.”
Zakharhenko said that instead of hurting Openii, who had already had the basis of users, Deepsekek's arrival had the opposite effect. Users now know that the “little Ai” is already here, he said, so they are convinced that it will lower the prices (which are already there), focusing on a smaller AI and opened, because Deepsekek is an open source.
