ChatGPT answers over 2.5 billion queries a day, shows internal data

OpenAI’s popular AI chatbot ChatGPT now reportedly processes over 2.5 billion requests per day. The San Francisco based AI startup, as per the internal data reported by Axios, is among the most used AI tools available online. The report also adds that around 330 million queries or requests come solely from the United States only. If the chatbot managed to process the requests at the same pace, it would be handling over 912 billion requests annually, which is an exponential growth from last year.

Survey

The number itself suggests that the growth rate is massive, even if we compare it with the traditional search engines like Google, which has been into the business for years. As per the reports, Google gets around 5 trillion searches each year, and if the AI usage surges at this pace, it may soon reach a trillion milestone soon, which can be a problem for search engines.

For the unversed, OpenAI’s chatbot has recorded a weekly user surge from 300 million in December 2023 to over 500 million by March 2024. This surge comes as OpenAI has aggressively expanded its offering.

Meanwhile, Reuters reported that the company is planning to develop its own AI-powered web browser that will compete directly with Google Chrome. The browser could include a panel on the right side with AI functions that can answer user queries. This development follows the release of ChatGPT Agent, a tool that can run tasks on users’ computers. However, OpenAI has not yet officially confirmed the details.
