AI continues to reshape the world digital landscape. A undisputed market leader, Chatgpt pushes records while its competitors are struggling to exist. We reveal the figures in the following paragraphs!
In short
- Chatgpt dominates AI with 80 % of traffic, crushing Gemini, Claude and other competitors.
- Deepseek explodes in Asia with 436 million visits, despite much lower resources than Openai.
Chatgpt captures 80 % of the AI market: the force of user adoption
In May 2025, Chatgpt reached 5.5 billion monthly visits. This represents 80 % of the web traffic linked to the generative AI. Similarweb even goes so far as to say that this performance surpasses from afar Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Deepseek and Grok together.
Analysts agree on one point: Chatgpt has been able to establish their domination thanks to its strategic positioning. OPENAI has indeed taken up the challenge: to offer a simple, fast and integrated conversational assistant.
But this success is not only technical. THE Similarweb report Underlines an important point: Chatgpt has also bet on utility. Certainly, other AI models like Claude shine in benchmarks. However, they struggle to convert this superiority into Massive user adoption.
Example: Claude 4 opus attracted only 100 million monthly visits, despite its performance.
For its part, Openai was able to establish its place on the AI market via:
- A partnership with Microsoft;
- integration into office tools;
- A powerful IA chatbot.
Better yet: its linguistic model becomes the reference today, even if it is not the most efficient on all levels.
Deepseek and the rise of a low -cost AI from China
The other surprise comes from China! We obviously refer to the startup Deepseek launched at the very beginning of the year. According to data, this IA tool went from 33.7 to 436 million monthly visits in just four months.
Its main asset: its artificial intelligence operates with infrastructure costs 30 times lower than those of Openai.
This breakthrough shows that the AI market is not only played in the west. Efficiency, accessibility and location also become key factors. Faced with this climb, even Google is struggling: Gemini recorded only 527 million visits despite a massive presence on the web.
One thing is certain: artificial intelligence practically redefines the global digital economy. The Battle of AI is not limited to technical performance. It is real use, accessibility and user fidelity that dictates the hierarchy. And for the moment, Chatgpt reigns without sharing!
