OpenAI Reports Renewed ChatGPT Growth Momentum
In an internal message this week, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said ChatGPT has returned to exceeding 10% monthly growth, boosting momentum as the company pursues roughly $40 billion in new funding that could bring total capital raised to about $100 billion and a valuation near $300 billion. The disclosure accompanies a pilot testing advertisements in ChatGPT’s free tier and heightened competition from Anthropic’s Claude. OpenAI also plans an updated Chat model expected this week to improve reasoning and coding capabilities.
