SEOUL, November 10 (AJP) - Anthropic's Claude saw a sharp increase in its monthly active users in South Korea last month, setting a record high amid intensifying competition among generative artificial intelligence (AI) services.
According to data released by market tracker Wiseapp-Retail on Tuesday, Claude had more than five million monthly active users last month, up about 976 percent from 460,000 a year earlier, meaning its user base grew more than tenfold.
Despite Claude's rapid growth, OpenAI's ChatGPT remained the most widely used generative AI app in the country, with 25.51 million monthly active users. Google's Gemini ranked second with 9.14 million, while Claude came in third.
Microsoft's Copilot followed in fourth place with 1.95 million users, and Perplexity ranked fifth with 1.34 million.
Among services developed by domestic companies, SK Telecom's AI assistant A., also known as Adot, had 890,000 monthly active users, while Wrtn was used by 370,000.
