Consumer demand for the latest AI technology is on the rise, with OpenAI’s new flagship model, GPT-4o, driving the company’s largest revenue spike on mobile devices. The model, launched on May 13, offers advanced features such as text, speech, and video capabilities, real-time responsiveness, and emotive voice options. Despite being available for free on the web, users are being encouraged to upgrade to OpenAI’s paid subscription, ChatGPT Plus, on mobile.
The strategic decision to push mobile users towards the paid subscription has proven successful, with the ChatGPT mobile app experiencing a significant increase in net revenue following the GPT-4o launch. The app saw a 22% revenue jump on the launch day, reaching $900,000 in net revenue by Tuesday, almost double its average daily revenue. This represents the largest revenue spike the app has seen, indicating strong consumer interest in AI experiments, especially on mobile platforms.
The App Store accounted for the majority of the new revenue, with the U.S. being the top market contributing $1.8 million in revenue. Other top countries included Germany, the U.K., Japan, France, Canada, Korea, Brazil, Australia, and Turkey. The revenue trend appears to be sustainable, or even increasing, suggesting continued consumer interest in the latest AI innovations.
