OpenAI Records 400 Million Active Users, Eyes USD 11 Billion Revenue: Report
San Francisco-based OpenAI has reached 400 million weekly active users, marking a 33 percent increase from 300 million in December, according to COO Brad Lightcap. The surge underscores the growing adoption of ChatGPT, fueled by word-of-mouth popularity and increasing enterprise demand, CNBC reported.

Enterprise Adoption Doubles

“People hear about it through word of mouth. They see the utility of it. They see their friends using it,” Lightcap reportedly said in an interview, adding that it takes time for individuals to find use cases that resonate. “There’s an overall effect of people really wanting these tools, and seeing that these tools are really valuable.”

OpenAI now has 2 million paying enterprise users, roughly doubling from September, Lightcap said, according to the report. He pointed out that employees often use ChatGPT personally and then suggest its implementation to their companies.

Companies like Uber, Morgan Stanley, Moderna, and T-Mobile are integrating OpenAI’s AI models into their operations. Developer engagement has also skyrocketed, with traffic doubling in the past six months and quintupling for OpenAI’s latest “reasoning” model, o3.

Lightcap compared this adoption to the rise of cloud services, which Amazon Web Services pioneered two decades ago. While the consumer business may grow faster since people can adopt it at will, enterprise is in the “process of building up,” he reportedly said.
