OpenAI’s ChatGPT is currying considerable attention, handling over 2.5 billion requests each day, including 330 million requests from American users, based on data acquired by Axios.
This statistic implies that the annual volume of requests made to ChatGPT surpasses 912.5 billion. An OpenAI representative, Rob Friedlander, verified the figures published by Axios to Technology News.
While ChatGPT has not yet reached the scale of Google’s 5 trillion annual searches, its rapid ascent presents a significant challenge to the search engine leader. User numbers for ChatGPT surged from 300 million weekly in December to over 500 million by March.
A recent report from Reuters indicated that OpenAI intends to unveil an AI-driven web browser soon, aimed at competing directly with Google Chrome. This ambition aligns with last week’s launch of ChatGPT Agent, a new tool designed to perform tasks autonomously on user computers.
