OpenAI vs Google (Math Olympiad)

Fighting over math trophies like teenagers.

Welcome to AI Wire — your smart shortcut to all things AI, without the jargon.

What we’ll cover today:

💡 OpenAI vs Google’s math showdown

💰 Grok’s $300 AI plan boosting downloads

📊 ChatGPT hitting 2.5B prompts a day

👶 72% of teens talking to AI chatbots

GROK SPECIAL

  • Grok 4 launch pushed revenue up 325% to $419K per day. Downloads jumped 279% to 197K per day.

  • AI companions had less impact. Downloads rose 40 percent, revenue only 9 percent.

  • High pricing is the lever. The new $300 per month SuperGrok Heavy plan drives bigger revenue than user growth.

  • Grok briefly hit number 3 on the App Store. It is now number 17 overall but still number 2 in Productivity. [Read Full Story]

  • Takeaway: Grok’s momentum is coming from price points, not chatbot hype.

  • Both claim gold-medal scores at the 2025 International Math Olympiad (IMO).

  • Both solved 5 of 6 problems using natural language, no human hand-holding.

  • Google accused OpenAI of announcing early, before official IMO validation. 😆 [Read Full Story]

  • OpenAI used ex-IMO medalists for grading, Google waited for the formal stamp.

  • Reality check: the AI race is tied tighter than either side wants to admit.
