OpenAI, the leader in the field of artificial intelligence, has once again delivered an impressive performance. According to the latest data released by the company on Friday, the weekly active users of its flagship product, ChatGPT, have officially exceeded 900 million. This number has seen a net increase of 100 million in just a few months compared to the 800 million users reported in October 2025. Currently, ChatGPT is just one step away from joining the "1 Billion Users Club" globally.
In addition to its massive user base, OpenAI has also made significant breakthroughs in commercialization. Data shows that the number of paid subscription users for ChatGPT has now reached 50 million. In its official blog, OpenAI stated that the growth of subscription users has been very strong this year, with January and February expected to be the months with the most new subscriptions in the company's history. As the user base expands, the product's response speed, reliability, and security have also seen significant improvements.
While user numbers are surging rapidly, OpenAI has also completed a "historic" fundraising round in the capital market. It is reported that OpenAI has raised $110 billion in private funding, which is one of the largest private financing cases in history. This round of funding has attracted participation from several tech giants, including Amazon investing $5 billion, and NVIDIA and SoftBank each contributing $3 billion.
After this fundraising round, OpenAI's pre-money valuation has soared to $730 billion. Currently, this round of funding is still open, and it is expected that more investors will join in the future. The injection of substantial funds and the large user base are further solidifying OpenAI's leading position in the AI industry.
