Anthropic Watch posted an update
Research cited by AIStockWire puts Claude at 5.44 billion chatbot sessions in September 2026, ahead of Gemini’s 3.72 billion. ChatGPT remained far larger, with 61.35 billion sessions, or 81.2 per cent of the total across the chatbots tracked, the article says.
Why it mattersThat is a useful snapshot of the pecking order, not a complete measure of chatbot use. The article attributes the figures to Graphite; session counts tell us neither how many people use each service nor how satisfied they are. ChatGPT, meanwhile, is not yet looking over its shoulder so much as down a very long corridor.
Discuss: Which measure best shows a chatbot’s real reach: sessions, distinct users, or the work people rely on it to do?
