OpenAI’s flagship product ChatGPT is reportedly approaching 1 billion weekly active users. The Information added that the road to 1 billion users was a difficult one, with growth slowing last fall after the user backlash to the GPT-5 model, and increased competition. Meanwhile, OpenAI projects $25 billion in revenue this year after bringing in $10 billion last year, while also forecasting $25 billion in cash burn, the report added. ChatGPT reached 1 billion global monthly active app users in May, the fastest application in history to reach that scale. Research from PYMNTS Intelligence has also shown the overall popularity of ChatGPT compared to its rivals, with 83% of AI users trying the platform at least once.
