Claude Downloads Surge After Super Bowl Ads Target ChatGPT's Monetization

• Anthropic's AI chatbot, Claude, entered the US App Store top 10 for the first time, reaching No. 7 from No. 41.
• Super Bowl ads humorously highlighted ChatGPT's ad-supported model, emphasizing Claude's ad-free experience.
• Claude saw an estimated 148,000 US downloads between Sunday and Tuesday, a 32% increase from the previous period.
• The surge coincides with ChatGPT rolling out ads to free users, amplifying Claude's 'no ads' appeal.
• This marks a significant turnaround for Claude, which had a slow mobile debut compared to ChatGPT.
