OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said Monday that ChatGPT has reached 800 million weekly active users, marking an increase of adoption among consumers, developers, enterprises, and governments.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
ChatGPT\u2019s impressive growth comes as OpenAI is on a race to\u00a0secure as many AI chips<\/a>\u00a0and build as much\u00a0AI infrastructure<\/a>\u00a0as possible. In August, OpenAI said it was on the cusp of reaching\u00a0700 million weekly active users<\/a>, already an increase from 500 million weekly active users at the end of March.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cToday, 4 million developers have built with\u00a0OpenAI,\u201d Altman said. \u201cMore than 800 million people use\u00a0ChatGPT every week, and we process over 6 billion tokens per minute on the API.\u00a0Thanks to all of you,\u00a0AI has gone from something people play with to something people build with every day.\u201d<\/p>\n Altman made the announcement during the keynote presentation for OpenAI\u2019s Dev Day, which also included announcements for new tools for building apps inside of ChatGPT as well as constructing more complex agentic systems.<\/p>\n \u201cThis will enable a new generation of apps that are interactive, adaptive, and personalized, that you can chat with,\u201d Altman said.\u00a0<\/p>\n Launched in November 2022, ChatGPT saw unprecedented user growth almost immediately, becoming both the preeminent consumer AI product and one of the fastest-growing online services ever. More recently the tool expanded into proactive services with OpenAI Pulse, sending customized morning briefs<\/a> to participating users. The service has also been dogged by concerns about sycophancy and AI-induced delusions<\/a>, particularly in the recent case of Allan Brooks<\/a>, who was misled into believing he\u2019d made a novel mathematical discovery with ChatGPT\u2019s help.<\/p>\n Still legally designated as a nonprofit, OpenAI became the most valuable privately held company in the world on Thursday, after a private stock sale of $6.6 billion in shares valued the company at $500 billion. The company has also been launching new products at a blistering pace, releasing a new version of its video-generation tool Sora<\/a> last week, paired with an accompanying social media network. That same week, the company partnered with Stripe to launch a platform for agentic commerce<\/a>.<\/p>\n Techcrunch event<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSan Francisco
