ChatGPT Leads AI Tool Rankings with 4.7B Visits in January

OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman announced a delay in rolling out ChatGPT's new AI image features to free users due to unexpectedly high demand. Currently, these features are only available to subscribers of ChatGPT Pro, Plus, and Teams. Meanwhile, ChatGPT remains the leading AI tool with 4.7 billion monthly visits in January, despite facing a decline after the launch of China's DeepSeek, which gained significant traction with over 268 million monthly users. DeepSeek's rise has intensified competition in the AI space, particularly affecting US-based chatbots. As OpenAI continues to face challenges with capacity and product launches, its planned $500 billion Stargate data center project is anticipated to alleviate these issues in the future.
