Sora > ChatGPT

Sora Soars Past ChatGPT

Sora hit 1 million downloads in under five days, outpacing ChatGPT’s original iOS debut and topping the US App Store within 72 hours. Users are flooding feeds with ultra-realistic clips, including controversial deepfakes that have already sparked backlash.

The numbers:

• 627,000 iOS downloads in its first week (vs. ChatGPT’s 606,000)

• 1 million total downloads across platforms

• 96% of ChatGPT’s US performance (despite invite-only access)

Google Turns Gemini Into a Platform

Google just launched Gemini CLI Extensions, letting developers plug tools like Figma and Stripe directly into its command-line AI. The move landed just two days after OpenAI launched its own app integrations inside ChatGPT, but Google’s approach is far more open. 

How it works: 

• Instead of a curated marketplace like OpenAI’s, anyone can build and publish an extension on GitHub. 

• Developers can install them manually, experiment freely, and create their own workflows without waiting for Google’s approval.

Building a true ecosystem. Gemini CLI launched in June and already counts over one million users, most of them software engineers using it to debug, refactor, and deploy code.
