Washington [US], June 3: OpenAI's ChatGPT has crossed 1 billion global monthly active users (MAUs), becoming the fastest app ever to reach the milestone, to estimates from market intelligence firm Sensor Tower, Reuters reported.
The record comes amid growing competition between Anthropic and OpenAI for dominance in the rapidly expanding artificial intelligence market.
ChatGPT reached 1 billion MAUs in May, roughly three years after launch, surpassing the pace set by apps including Google Maps, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, Sensor Tower said.
