OpenAI's ChatGPT has reached a significant milestone, with over 200 million people using the AI chatbot weekly, as confirmed by an OpenAI spokesperson to The Verge. This is a remarkable increase from the 100 million weekly users reported in November 2023, showing that the platform has doubled its active user base in less than a year.

The AI's adoption isn't limited to individual users; it has also made significant inroads in the corporate world. Currently, 92 percent of Fortune 500 companies utilize OpenAI's products. This increase coincides with the release of the GPT-4o Mini model, which offers improved performance at a reduced cost, leading to a surge in API usage.

ChatGPT's rise comes amidst competition from other tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Meta, all of which have launched their own AI chat platforms. Meta's AI assistant, for instance, now boasts over 400 million monthly users and 185 million weekly users, despite not being available in several major markets.

In another development, the US AI Safety Institute announced that OpenAI and Anthropic have agreed to allow government evaluations of their AI models before public release, reflecting the growing regulatory attention on AI. Meanwhile, reports suggest that Apple and Nvidia could be potential investors in OpenAI, highlighting AI's increasing importance in the tech industry.
