Downloads have plummeted from over 20 million in January to 8.3 million in April, with a 14.43% decline in web traffic month-over-month. This decline is significant as enterprise deals could enhance revenue and credibility for xAI, which is struggling with low paid adoption rates amid competition from Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini."
