OpenAI's ChatGPT Hits 800M Weekly Users, Faces Lawsuits and Regulatory Scrutiny

In November 2025, OpenAI's ChatGPT, the text-generating AI chatbot, has continued its rapid growth, now reaching 800 million weekly active users. The company has seen significant expansion, including a partnership with Apple for its generative AI offering, the release of GPT-4o with voice capabilities, and the launch of its text-to-video model Sora.

Despite this success, OpenAI has also faced its share of challenges. The company has been hit with lawsuits from Alden Global Capital-owned newspapers alleging copyright infringement, as well as an injunction from Elon Musk to halt OpenAI's transition to a for-profit model. Additionally, OpenAI is battling the perception that it's ceding ground in the AI race to Chinese rivals like DeepSeek.
