OpenAI’s ChatGPT is approaching 1 billion weekly active users, according to a report by The Information cited by multiple outlets. Both sources say the figure is based on OpenAI-provided internal data. The company had originally projected reaching the milestone about seven months earlier than its current timeline. The Information report states that OpenAI expected to have 1 billion weekly active users by the end of last year, but that goal has been delayed. Despite the change in timing, the outlets describe ChatGPT as remaining among the fastest-growing consumer applications. The reporting focuses on weekly active user counts, rather than revenue or adoption in specific countries, and does not provide further details on whether the milestone refers to global usage across platforms or a particular subset of ChatGPT users.
