OpenAI announced that its chatbot ChatGPT now has 700 million weekly users. This is a big jump from the 500 million users in March 2025. In just a year, usage has grown nearly 4 times. Nick Turley, who leads the ChatGPT app, shared this news on his social media.
OpenAI also shared that this platform now handles around 2.5 billion prompts every day from about 330 million users. This tool has grown into a daily usage tool for work, study, and more.
Billions In Funding are Helping ChatGPT Grow Faster
ChatGPT’s growth is also linked to larger funding rounds. Open AI raised $8.3 billion from investors like Dragoneer Investment Group, Blackstone, and Sequoia Capital. The company is now valued at $300 billion and plans to raise even more money, up to $40 billion, in 2025. Its yearly revenue is around $13 billion and could reach up to $20 billion by the end of the year.
New Features and Challenges of ChatGPT
ChatGPT has added many new features in 2025. These features include voice command, better memory for past chats, and advanced tools for research. These changes have made the tool more helpful for businesses and regular use. Over 5 million businesses now pay to use ChatGPT. In the US market, ChatGPT and similar tools are used in 5.6% of desktop browser searches, which is more than last year.
Even with its fast growth, OpenAI has some issues. The company is expected to spend around $8 billion by the end of 2025. So it might not become profitable before 2029.
