Recent reports indicate that OpenAI's weekly active users have reached 400 million. This figure represents an increase of 100 million compared to December last year, marking a growth rate of 33%. Despite recent fluctuations in its relationship with Microsoft and market challenges posed by emerging competitor DeepSeek, OpenAI continues to demonstrate strong development momentum.

Brad Lightcap, OpenAI's Chief Operating Officer, analyzed the reasons behind the user growth. He emphasized that word-of-mouth played a crucial role. People are increasingly recognizing the practical value of tools like ChatGPT and are influenced by friends around them who use these tools. This effect encourages more individuals to try and embrace these technologies.

Leveraging advancements in artificial intelligence, particularly in natural language processing, OpenAI has successfully attracted a large number of users. As its user base continues to expand, OpenAI's leading position in the AI field is further strengthened. Looking ahead, the company is expected to continue driving technological innovation to meet the growing needs of its users.
