New Delhi: India will exceed the US as Openai’s largest user center with the launch of GPT-5, the latest Foundational Artificial Intelligence (AI) model that provides greater acceptability with improved support for 12 Indian languages, CEO Sam Altman said on Wednesday. The onset expects this growth, even if India itself is pursuing homemade AI models. “India is our second largest market in the world to the US, and our largest market will be worldwide, as soon as it grows very quickly. We want to bring our products with a special focus on the market,” Altman told Mint in an interaction on the eve of the company’s launch of its next generation jump in technology. Openai has more than 700 million people who use chatgpt every week, Altman said. The company does not contain a regional connection from its user bosses. “Indian users are incredible in the way they integrate AI into their lives, as well as businesses. Now we work with local partners in India to make AI-ready for everyone, and we are also investigating ways to make AI more affordable for everyone,” he said. Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) was the first mainstream fundamental AI model that became popular, when Openai launched generative artificial intelligence application in October 2022. India is one of the world’s largest technology markets, thanks to more than 17 million developers and a $ 280 billion-plus software outsourcing industry.

AI models use. Ultimate goal for us is to not only be dependent on AI built outside the country. “He said GPT-5 would be” watched closely to see if they catch up with the execution of use cases such as coding and video “. Among the general public is the reputation advantage of chatgpt unparalleled, and we expect Openai to be the clock in AI, “Compel added. “Businesses in India are still at an upcoming stage of adoption, which is why India can still be a relatively small market,” she said. “That said, for businesses that AI adopted with workload of the language, the people like GPT-5 and Gemini-2.5 will provide significantly greater confidence and security than a smaller business.
