ChatGPT Images 2.0 Sees Strong India Adoption, Mixed Global Response
OpenAI announced on Thursday that since launching last week, ChatGPT Images 2.0 has gained the most users in India. This upgraded version can handle complex requests and produce intricate images in multiple languages. In India, people are using it for creating avatars, portraits, and imaginative visuals. However, overall global engagement has been relatively low, with app downloads increasing by 11% from the previous week, and daily active users rising by just about 1%. In its first week, ChatGPT was downloaded nearly 5 million times in India, compared to around 2 million in the U.S., along with a 3.4% growth in daily active users. The tool also includes photo restoration and various visual styles, rivaling Google's image model.
