ChatGPT, which was publicly released for free testing on November 30 last year, was used by over 1 million people in less than a week. Andreessen Horowitz stated, "ChatGPT's traffic share accounted for about 60% of the top 50 companies," adding, "This made ChatGPT the 24th most visited website in the world."

This survey was conducted by estimating the traffic of the world's top websites using data from the nonprofit site ‘SimilarWeb’, and adding estimated application traffic from ‘Sensor Tower’, considering companies that also have mobile applications.

Thanks to ChatGPT, OpenAI achieved annual revenue of $1.3 billion (approximately 1.75 trillion KRW), increasing about 50 times in one year. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, recently informed employees that this year's revenue is 46.5 times last year's $28 million (3.76 billion KRW).

Earlier, OpenAI executives stated during negotiations with investors that they expect to achieve $1 billion in revenue this year and increase to several billion dollars next year. Most of OpenAI's revenue comes from ChatGPT. OpenAI first launched ChatGPT in November last year, started a paid subscription service in February, and introduced ChatGPT Enterprise for businesses in August. OpenAI's market value is reported to have tripled since the beginning of this year, reaching up to $90 billion (approximately 121 trillion KRW).
