OpenAI has been one of the first companies to bring artificial intelligence to the average user in the form of its OpenAI chatbot. Its arrival was a revolution and gave a significant boost to the interest that AI aroused in the general public.
Available in free mode and also in a paid version, ChatGPT is currently based on the latest GPT-4o model, one of the most advanced. The company has announced that have surpassed the figure of 200 million users active per week. They also claim that 92% of Fortune 500 companies use their products.
It is clear that being among the first gives a significant advantage, but the evolution of AI is going faster and faster and more and more competitors are emerging, with companies such as Microsoft, Meta or Google showing more and more advances.
It remains to be seen how long this service will remain sustainable in its free form. Currently, maintaining AI systems like ChatGPT requires huge amounts of resources (servers with their electricity, water, etc.), and OpenAI itself is rumored to be losing billions in this expansion phase, with Losses estimated at $5 billion only this year 2024.
