Massive OpenAI Users Switch to Anthropic, Latter Tops US App Download Charts

Odaily News Following the US Trump administration's discontinuation of Anthropic's AI technology products, OpenAI swiftly reached an agreement with the US Department of Defense to deploy OpenAI models within the DoD's classified networks. This event triggered user outcry and a boycott campaign against OpenAI, leading to 700,000 users canceling subscriptions or even uninstalling ChatGPT within a short period, switching to Anthropic's Claude instead.

Anthropic's Claude, having gained substantial user support, surged to the top of the US App Store's free download charts. OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini ranked second and third, respectively. Claude had previously experienced an increase in failure rates, likely related to the significant surge in traffic. (Jin10)
