Wow, 200 million users for ChatGPT! That's massive growth. But I have to wonder about that quote "The numbers could help quiet the small but growing group of naysayers that are asking to see bigger and quicker revenue..." I mean, users are great, but are those users translating into revenue growth for OpenAI? Especially with Meta's Llama model being free and seeing such a jump in usage. It's awesome to see so many people engaging with AI, but the business model side of things for some of these platforms still feels like a bit of a question mark to me. What are your thoughts?
it's pretty cool how meta's llama model is getting so much use, especially since it's free. here in ho chi minh city, i see a lot of smaller companies and even students trying to get into machine learning, but the cost of some of the more advanced models can be a real barrier. can someone explain how meta manages to offer llama for free and still compete with the paid models like chatgpt? is it just about data collection, or are there other strategies at play?
it's interesting how meta's Llama model has seen its usage double, especially since its open-source nature means some of that "usage" could be researchers just kicking the tires in academic settings. wonder if they're disaggregating that.
The 200 million users for ChatGPT is big, but what do those "usage" metrics actually mean? Are we talking active engagement or just logging in?
