ChatGPT now deals with a mind-boggling 2.5 billion queries daily, showing huge growth in 2025 – TweakTown
ChatGPT usage has jumped in a big way over the course of 2025, and according to a new report, the AI is now dealing with over 2.5 billion queries every day.

As you might expect, those are mostly from free users, and this is data from Axios, which contends that 330 million daily prompts are from people in the US.
To put these figures into perspective, as TechRadar (which flagged the report) observes, at the end of 2024, Sam Altman told us that ChatGPT was crunching through around a billion prompts on a daily basis.
So, it seems that in a little over half a year, the use of the AI has grown by a factor of 2.5, which is pretty remarkable. If that kind of growth trajectory continues, we could even be looking at 5 billion daily queries being answered by ChatGPT as 2026 rolls around. (As TechRadar points out, for perspective, Google processes some 14 billion search queries every day).
The Axios report also discusses how AI is making Americans more productive already, according to Altman, as well as the OpenAI CEO making a promise that AI will be kept ‘democratic’ by getting it in as ‘many hands as possible’ going by sources seemingly in the know.
That’s glossing over a whole lot of concerns about how AI might be used to manipulate democracy, or more specifically, voters – but that’s a whole huge can of worms we won’t get into here.
