"Claude surpassed ChatGPT in the US for the first time on Saturday. Claude's US downloads were up 240% month-over-month in February, Appfigures estimated, to 1.1 million more than the previous month. Claude is now the No. 1 free iPhone app in five markets: the US, Canada, Germany, Ireland, and Luxembourg."
"Anthropic's Mike Krieger said on Tuesday that 'more than a million people are now signing up for Claude every day.' An Anthropic spokesperson previously told Business Insider that as recently as a month ago, Claude didn't even rank in the top 40 of the US Apple App Store."
"OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has acknowledged that OpenAI's deal with the Pentagon was 'rushed.' On Monday evening, he publicly released an internal message to employees in which he said that OpenAI had reopened the deal to obtain stronger protections."
Claude became the number one free iPhone app in the US Apple App Store on Saturday, dethroning ChatGPT. Claude's US downloads increased 240% month-over-month in February to 1.1 million more than the previous month. Claude now ranks as the top free app in five markets: the US, Canada, Germany, Ireland, and Luxembourg. Anthropic reported over one million people signing up for Claude daily. This shift followed Anthropic's CEO Dario Amodei's defiance of Pentagon demands, while OpenAI faced criticism for accepting a rushed Defense Department agreement. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman acknowledged the deal was rushed and had poor optics, prompting the company to reopen negotiations for stronger protections.
