CHAI, the leading social AI platform, has significantly outperformed OpenAI’s ChatGPT in key mobile engagement metrics, according to new data published in a recent TechCrunch report analyzing the competitive AI application landscape.

Superior User Engagement

Drawing on insights from mobile intelligence provider Sensor Tower, the analysis reveals that CHAI users spend, on average, 196% more time on the mobile app compared to ChatGPT users. Additionally, CHAI users engage in 30% more sessions, demonstrating the platform’s exceptional ability to foster deeper, more sustained user interactions.

SOTA AI Training Strategies

CHAI has implemented many novel strategies and optimized them for the social AI setting, such as best-of-N sampling, DPO / SimPO / CPO / GRPO. Instead of relying solely on maximum likelihood training, those strategies steer LLMs using real human preference signals, improve ELO scores, and lead to more engaging conversations and longer Day-30 retention.
