OpenAI nears 1 billion weekly ChatGPT users

ChatGPT is nearing 1 billion weekly active users, according to The Information, about seven months later than OpenAI had expected.

Growth has slowed amid stronger competition from Google Gemini and Anthropic Claude, along with delays to GPT-5 and some backlash.

OpenAI is shifting more focus to enterprise revenue, while ChatGPT paid subscribers have now topped 50 million.
