Openai’s Chief Operating Officer (COO) Brad Lichap says that it has been “very crazy for images in chat”. He says that since last Tuesday, 130 million users have produced more than 700 million images on CHATGPT. Lichap focused some special focus on the Indian market. He says that India is his fastest growing chat market. “The range of visual creativity has been extremely inspiring,” he said.

This comes a day after Sam Altman held the positions on X Marwaling for India’s AI adoption. They called it “amazing”. “India is beating the world,” he said. He even shared an AI-Janit Anime image of himself as a cricketer wearing a Team India Jersey. He used Cricket – The Holi Grill of Indian Sports Fandam – to attract the attention of Indian users.

Meanwhile, the founder of Credit Kunal Shah was in a hurry to cut through the noise, responding with a simple but cutting observation: “India is the world’s Mau farm.” This can only be the way to attract more users than India. For those who do not know, MAU refers to monthly active users – a major metric that indicates high engagement, more data and eventually, more mudification capacity. With over one billion people and adopting fast growing smartphones, India offers a big opportunity for companies looking to tap on a large and engaged user basis. In short, it is a goldmine for businesses such as Openai, which depends on user interactions and data.

The company is also constantly exposing the struggle that the new image generation is facing its teams due to the sudden and unexpected popularity of the facility. “We appreciate your patience because we try to serve all, the team continues to work around the clock,” Licap said.

Last week, Openai introduced a new image-generation facility for GPT-4o, enabled users to form AI-borne images directly within the chatbot. However, unpredictable growth of equipment in popularity – especially for the ability to mimic the iconic art style – to mimic the art style – quickly overwhelmed the company’s server. From profile pictures to wedding portraits, social media exploded with “Ghibali-style” works, which led to immense tension on the infrastructure of Openai. This demand was so heavy that Ultman made fun of himself that his GPU was “melting.” A week later, the frenzy has not died, and openi is still struggling to run the things smoothly. Earlier this week, Altman warned users to expect delays, glitches and slow performance as the company’s race to handle load.
