OpenAI has announced a partnership with Apple to integrate ChatGPT features into its new generative AI offering, Apple Intelligence.

The company has surpassed 1 million paid users for its corporate offerings, indicating robust demand in the business sector.

Since its launch in November 2022, ChatGPT has gained significant traction, now being utilized by over 92% of Fortune 500 companies and boasting 300 million weekly active users as of December 2024.

Recently, OpenAI released GPT-4o, its flagship omni model, which serves as the default free model and includes voice capabilities, although one voice feature was paused due to controversy.

The GPT-4o model has been updated to enhance creative writing abilities and improve responses to user-uploaded files, further enriching the user experience.

In July 2024, OpenAI's mobile app achieved record revenue of $28 million, following the successful launch of GPT-4o.

Looking ahead, OpenAI has announced '12 Days of OpenAI,' featuring live streams of product launches and demos starting December 5.

OpenAI is considering the introduction of an advertising model for ChatGPT, though no concrete plans have been confirmed yet.

However, some users have reported a glitch causing the bot to freeze when queried about 'David Mayer,' raising concerns regarding digital privacy.

In a move to strengthen its digital presence, OpenAI has acquired the domain Chat.com.

Despite its successes, OpenAI is facing legal challenges, including a lawsuit from a group of Canadian media companies alleging copyright infringement.

Additionally, the company is dealing with internal issues, highlighted by the departure of co-founder Ilya Sutskever.
