OpenAI's ChatGPT now processes a staggering 2.5 billion user prompts daily, according to internal data obtained by TechCrunch. The figure underscores the explosive growth of generative AI in everyday use, from casual queries to professional applications.
Industry analysts suggest this surge reflects broader adoption across sectors, including education, customer service, and content creation. A recent report from SimilarWeb indicates ChatGPT’s web and mobile traffic has grown by 67% year-over-year, with businesses increasingly integrating AI tools into workflows.
Experts warn, however, that scaling AI infrastructure to meet demand remains a challenge. OpenAI has reportedly invested heavily in server capacity to reduce latency, but occasional slowdowns persist during peak hours. Meanwhile, competitors like Google’s Gemini and Anthropic’s Claude are racing to capture market share, though ChatGPT retains a dominant position.
The data also highlights regional trends, with North America and Asia-Pacific driving the majority of interactions. As AI becomes more embedded in digital ecosystems, ethical concerns—including misinformation risks and energy consumption—continue to spark debate among policymakers.
