Altman Reaffirms Dominance ChatGPT Growth Rebounds Above 10% Following Strategic Pivot
OpenAI Strategic Pivot Pays Off: ChatGPT and Codex See Massive Usage Spikes.

According to internal Slack messages obtained by CNBC, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently informed employees that ChatGPT has regained its momentum, with monthly growth once again exceeding 10%.

The Great Strategic Shift

This resurgence follows reports of a massive strategic overhaul by Altman. Concerned by a brief slowdown in growth and intensifying competition from Google’s Gemini and Anthropic’s Claude, Altman reportedly reallocated resources to focus primarily on ChatGPT, temporarily halting several side projects. This "all-in" approach appears to be paying off as the platform reclaims its market share.

Surging Developer Interest

Beyond the consumer-facing chatbot, Altman highlighted significant gains in other sectors:

  • Codex Growth: The AI model powering developer tools saw a nearly 50% increase in usage compared to the previous week.

  • Upcoming Updates: Altman teased that a new AI model update is scheduled for release within this week, signaling a rapid pace of innovation to stay ahead of rivals.

Further data indicates that this 10% growth is partly due to the full launch of SearchGPT, a direct challenge to Google Search. This allows users to use ChatGPT not only for writing articles but also as their primary tool for real-time information retrieval, replacing traditional "search" methods.

Altman's decision to "suspend other projects" reflects AI fatigue in the market, where users are increasingly rejecting fragmented AI apps and seeking a single "super app" capable of performing all tasks. Focusing on ChatGPT is therefore crucial for building a complete, all-in-one ecosystem.

Analysts predict that this week's update may involve a new "o1" (Strawberry) architecture emphasizing reasoning capabilities, a field closely catching up to Anthropic Claude 3.5 and 4.

The Codex's soaring 50% growth demonstrates OpenAI's increasing success in penetrating the enterprise market, particularly among software engineers using AI to write increasingly complex code by 2026.
