OpenAI’s ChatGPT sees more than 2.5 billion requests daily, with 330 million from users based in the US, according to data obtained by Axios.
The data suggests that ChatGPT users send over 912.5 billion requests to the AI chatbot each year. Although ChatGPT still has a way to go to catch up to Google’s 5 trillion annual searches, its rapid growth still poses a major threat to the search giant. In the span of just a few months, ChatGPT’s weekly users spiked from 300 million last December to more than 500 million in March.
The Verge reached out to OpenAI with a request for comment, but didn’t immediately hear back.
Earlier this month, a report from Reuters suggested that OpenAI is preparing to release an AI-powered web browser in the coming weeks, which will directly compete with Google Chrome. The company took a step toward this milestone with last week’s launch of ChatGPT Agent, a tool that can complete tasks on your computer for you.
