Regarding the number of prompts handled by ChatGPT, in April 2025, a certain X user posted, 'How much electricity is OpenAI losing by saying 'please' and 'thank you' to the AI model?' OpenAI CEO Sam Altman responded by replying , 'Tens of millions of dollars (billions of yen) are being used, but I don't know what it is,' but this is a rough joke and no detailed data is shown. In addition, as for data on the number of ChatGPT usage, Brad Lightcap, Chief Operating Officer of OpenAI, revealed that 'In just one week after the release, more than 130 million people generated more than 700 million images' regarding the high-precision image generation function '4o Image Generation' using GPT-4o, which was added to ChatGPT in March 2025.

Data on the number of conversations taking place on ChatGPT was posted by the OpenAI newsroom in December 2024, revealing that '1 billion messages are sent every day.' However, since it was reported in February 2025 that the number of weekly active users had exceeded 400 million, there has been no official announcement about the number of conversations that should have increased further.

In July 2025, American online media Axios reported that data on the number of ChatGPT prompts had been released for the first time by a source familiar with CEO Altman's thinking. According to the source, ChatGPT users send more than 2.5 billion prompts every day from all over the world. This translates to more than 912.5 billion prompts per year, which is still far from Google, which conducts more than 5 trillion searches per year , but it is a major threat to the search giant.
It also turned out that 330 million of the 2.5 billion requests were sent from users in the United States. When online media The Verge asked OpenAI about Axios' report, OpenAI spokesman Rob Friedlander acknowledged that 'the numbers reported by Axios are correct.'
OpenAI is expected to release an ' AI Action Plan ' around July 23, 2025, to strengthen America's position as an AI powerhouse and promote its leadership. CEO Altman is also expected to attend a key meeting of the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) on July 22, 2025 to lead a discussion on the impact of AI on employment. In addition, an event called 'Winning the AI Race,' featuring a keynote speech by President Donald Trump, will be held in Washington DC on July 23, 2025, and many other events that will draw attention to AI are expected to take place.
An OpenAI source told Axios, 'CEO Altman's vision is not just pessimistic, nor does it ignore employment concerns, but it focuses on democratizing benefits rather than concentrating them in the hands of a few.' In addition, 'OpenAI sees AI fundamentally as a technology to improve productivity. The important thing is not whether AI will make the economic pie bigger, but who gets how much of it. Also, it's not about stopping the disruption, it's about putting AI in people's hands and giving them the opportunity to benefit. OpenAI will argue that the democratization of economic benefits begins with giving people AI tools to do things and giving them the opportunity to participate in prosperity.' A source revealed OpenAI's vision.
