ChatGPT remains the world’s most widely used chatbot, but new data shows its growth is slowing as rivals gain ground. Monthly users on the ChatGPT mobile app have flattened since the summer, according to analytics firm Sensor Tower. Meanwhile, Google’s Gemini has surpassed OpenAI’s systems on several industry benchmarks, signaling increasing competition in the rapidly expanding AI sector.
The slowdown comes three years after ChatGPT launched and reshaped Silicon Valley’s approach to artificial intelligence. Analysts say the market is now more crowded, with major tech firms racing to deploy advanced AI models. Sensor Tower data and benchmark reports highlight how competitors are narrowing the gap, raising questions about how long OpenAI can maintain its early lead in commercial AI adoption.
