Crisped on the outside, thoughtful enough on the inside.
Summary
ChatGPT's growth is slowing significantly, with uninstalls up 132% year-over-year in April and 413% in May following OpenAI's Pentagon deal. While the user base is still growing, Sensor Tower data shows monthly active user growth has slowed to 168%, as competitors like Claude gain traction. This slowdown could pose challenges for OpenAI's planned IPO.
