OpenAI's ChatGPT regained market share against Alphabet's Gemini in July, according to BNP Paribas analysis. Gemini's share of chatbot visits fell to 28.8% from 30.3% in June, while ChatGPT reversed recent losses across key metrics. Anthropic's Claude continued gaining ground, with visit share rising to 10.4% from 10%. Meta AI remained stable, whilst SpaceX's Grok lost ground. The shift comes as OpenAI moves closer to a potential public listing after confidentially filing for a US IPO in June. The company closed a $122 billion funding round in March at an $852 billion valuation and now reportedly generates over $40 billion in annualised revenue. BNP notes the AI chatbot market has become increasingly competitive, with Google and Anthropic emerging as meaningful challengers rather than distant alternatives.
OpenAI has appointed Dali Rajic as Chief Revenue Officer, replacing Denise Dresser who held the position for less than a year. The move adds to a string of executive departures since April. Shortly after news of the leadership change, Bloomberg reported OpenAI is projecting an annual revenue run rate of $40 billion. The timing raised eyebrows amongst commentators, who noted the positive revenue projection conveniently followed negative headlines about management turnover. The $40 billion figure represents a significant increase from previous projections. However, analysts caution these are unaudited, optimistic estimates that companies typically release ahead of public offerings. The frequent C-suite changes present an unusual narrative for a company considering an IPO, though some suggest new leadership may be necessary for the transition to a public company.
Lightspeed seeks $600m for a continuation fund holding OpenAI, Anthropic and three more. It sells the assets and will manage the vehicle buying them.
OpenAI plans to open a new office in Berlin, chief executive Sam Altman told German newspaper Handelsblatt. The US artificial intelligence company currently operates only one German office in Munich. Germany ranks as OpenAI's largest European market for ChatGPT's paid subscription service and sits among the global top three. Altman described Germany as one of the company's largest and fastest-growing markets. The CEO said OpenAI favours building its own data centres in Germany to meet growing AI infrastructure demand. He has held talks with Berlin government representatives about a potential data centre, though nothing concrete emerged. Altman stated the German economy makes strong use of AI, citing cooperation with Deutsche Telekom as an example.
OpenAI has launched Computer History, an opt-in feature that records users' computer interactions across apps and websites to build ChatGPT memories. Unlike its screenshot-based predecessor Chronicle, Computer History captures clicks, typing, keyboard shortcuts, and app switches rather than screen images. The system stores interaction events locally for up to 48 hours before deletion, though data is sent to OpenAI's servers to generate memories. Files remain unencrypted and accessible to other programmes running on macOS. Available to ChatGPT Pro, Business, and Enterprise users on macOS, Computer History increases token usage costs and expands vulnerability to prompt injection attacks. OpenAI warns that malicious website content could manipulate ChatGPT responses. The company advises users to pause the feature during communications without prior consent and when handling sensitive information.
