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.
ChatGPT’s impressive growth comes as OpenAI is on a race to secure as many AI chips and build as much AI infrastructure as possible. It also comes just two months after OpenAI said it was on track to hit 700 million weekly active users. That’s an increase from 500 million weekly active users at the end of March.
“Today, 4 million developers have built with OpenAI,” Altman said during OpenAI’s Dev Day. “More than 800 people use ChatGPT every week, and we process over 6 billion tokens per minute on the API. Thanks to all of you, AI has gone from something people build play with to something people build with every day.”
OpenAI is clearly trying to boost those numbers even further by focusing more on developers. At Dev Day, Altman said the company today launched in preview an Apps SDK, or software development kit, to enable developers to “build real apps” inside ChatGPT.
“This will enable a new generation of apps that are interactive, adaptive, and personalized, that you can chat with,” Altman said.
