ChatGPT's growth is bouncing back as rivals struggle to close the gap
ChatGPT has more than 81% of traffic to six major AI chatbots, Graphite found, as growth resumes and Claude and Gemini remain far behind.
OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, reveals that ChatGPT now commands over 81% of global traffic to leading AI chatbots, according to a Graphite study. This resurgence in ChatGPT's popularity follows a period of stagnation, with rivals Google's Gemini and Anthropic's Claude lagging far behind. Graphite's research analyzed worldwide web and mobile app traffic, employing Similarweb data, and found that no competitor has reached even a 10% market share.
While Claude and Gemini experienced significant growth over the past year, ChatGPT's resurgence is even more impressive, with monthly visits climbing nearly 20% to 61.35 billion in September. The study also demonstrates the transformative impact of AI on Google's traditional search business, with AI-generated answers now appearing in 62% of US searches and Google's AI Mode attracting 491 million US web visits in August.
Despite being the birthplace of AI technology, the US accounts for only 8.8% of worldwide AI traffic, indicating that the AI boom is becoming increasingly global. In total, monthly visits to major AI services have reached 76 billion worldwide, marking a 37% increase from the previous year, underscoring the continued rapid expansion of the AI market and ChatGPT's overwhelming dominance.
