OpenAI’s ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot, has significantly expanded its capabilities since its launch in November 2022, now serving a vast user base of 300 million weekly active users. Initially designed to enhance productivity in tasks like writing and coding, ChatGPT has evolved to offer a wide array of features.
In 2024, OpenAI made substantial progress, collaborating with Apple to introduce Apple Intelligence and launching GPT-4 with voice capabilities and the text-to-video model Sora. However, the company faced challenges, including the departure of key executives and legal disputes with Alden Global Capital and Elon Musk.
As of 2025, OpenAI is working to address perceptions of losing ground to competitors like DeepSeek while strengthening ties with Washington. Simultaneously, the company is pursuing a significant data center project and preparing for a substantial funding round.
