In the South Korean mobile artificial intelligence (AI) application market, Anthropic's 'Claude' has secured the second position in both monthly user count and new installations, following OpenAI's ChatGPT.
According to a report by AI data tech firm IGAWorks and Yonhap News on September 25, Claude recorded 1,499,096 monthly users across Android and iOS platforms last month.
This figure places Claude second to ChatGPT, which had 17,099,052 users. Claude has maintained its second-place status for three consecutive months from June to August.
SK Telecom's A-dot ranked third with 1,149,684 users, followed by Publixity with 603,474 users and Grok with 546,315 users.
In terms of new installations, Claude achieved 286,823, again placing second behind ChatGPT's 647,439. Claude has held the second position in new installations for five consecutive months since April.
Last month, Google Gemini ranked third in new installations with 204,672, while Grok was fourth with 121,605, and the AI character chat app Polybuzz was fifth with 67,945.
This survey compiled data on the usage of AI apps within the productivity sector among domestic Android and iOS users last month.
Looking ahead, competition between Anthropic and OpenAI is expected to intensify. Earlier this month, OpenAI launched its new model, 'GPT-6 Astra,' followed by the release of GPT-6 SoL and GPT-6 Luna, aiming to attract more users.
Anthropic is preparing for an initial public offering (IPO) in November. According to reports from Reuters and others, Anthropic is considering accelerating the release of a new model ahead of its IPO, in response to OpenAI's push for industry dominance with 'GPT-6 Astra.'
