Overview
- OpenAI released its first country-by-country dataset showing multimedia messages made up 7.8% of ChatGPT traffic globally and about 10% of messages from Mexico, with higher shares in Brazil and Colombia.
- OpenAI Signals finds users are shifting ChatGPT from Q&A toward task execution such as writing, coding and editing, and people aged 35 and over now account for roughly five percentage points more of messages than a year ago.
- Google announced that Gemini surpassed 1,000 million monthly active users, a milestone that industry reporting notes is not directly comparable to OpenAI’s >1,000 million user claims because the companies use different activity metrics.
- OpenAI is rolling out GPT-5.6 Luna as the default for Free and Go accounts to offer unlimited text chats while reserving GPT-5.6 Sol and advanced multimodal or compute-heavy features for paid Plus and Pro subscribers.
- Search and discovery are changing as AI summaries and Google AI Overviews favor concise, authoritative sources and video, which could push publishers to adapt content formats to remain visible in AI-driven responses.
