ChatGPT went from 100M weekly users to 1.2B in less than 3 years (Save this).
The milestones OpenAI has announced:
→ Nov 2023: 100M
→ Aug 2024: 200M
→ Dec 2024: 300M
→ Feb 2025: 400M
→ Mar 2025: 500M
→ Aug 2025: 700M
→ Oct 2025: 800M
→ Feb 2026: 900M
→ Jul 2026: 1B
→ Sep 2026: 1.2B
Going from 100M to 200M took about 9 months. Going from 1B to 1.2B took less than 3.
That's roughly 1 in 7 people on Earth using it every week.
This is the most insane thing from Open AI Dev Day
ChatGPT just hit 1.2 billion weekly users and 2.5M+ businesses are using its products!
They are already generating $70B ARR off this user base and are expanding their ads business with expectations of $2.5B ARR by EOY
How can you be bearish on this company?
They just grew their revenues almost 75% in the last 1.5 months, adding $30B in ARR since early August
I think OpenAI is going to be just fine and the concerns around their business struggling or defaulting is just nonsense
The revenues for AI labs continue to show up, and if they can start to generate revenue from ads or txn fees too, then I think the labs will become unstoppable companies
The only AI lab risk left is Anthropic, but seeing as they are moving ahead with IPO my guess is the numbers aren't as bad as the market is making it out to be
The aI infra trade is going higher, that's why I see from these numbers OpenAI just released
