Celebrating 1 Million Members and Introducing the Community Leaderboard

The OpenAI Developer Community has crossed 1 million members!

That number represents builders showing up for one another, solving real problems, sharing what they have learned, reporting what breaks, welcoming newcomers, and making the forum more useful every day.

To mark the milestone, we are introducing the Community Leaderboard.

The leaderboard recognizes members who strengthen the forum through steady, useful participation. It highlights people who help others, improve discussions, share practical insight, and make this community a better place to build.

Thank you to everyone who has asked a question, answered one, shared a project, reported an issue, welcomed someone new, or helped make this space stronger.

We are also keeping the celebration going with a community design challenge. More on that soon. For now, thank you for being part of this community.

And while we celebrate this milestone, we also want to hear from you.

What do you want from the community next? What would make the forum more useful, more welcoming, or more valuable to builders? What should we improve, change, or rethink?

Share your feedback, wishes, and criticism below. A milestone like this is a good moment to celebrate what the community has become, but it is also the right moment to ask what it should become next. Here’s to the next million.

Yay to 1 million members on this community!

Not a day goes by that I wouldn’t learn something new here and I am really excited to see where this community is headed.

Thanks to every developer that brings new ideas, shares projects you’re working on, encourages, helps and engages with others, to shape the future of AI.

And to the mod-team, thank you for the work you’re doing here!

Wow, I haven’t even been here for 2-3 months yet, but even I’m ranked 24th on the list. I like that.

Edit: I just realized the ranking I was looking at was already the monthly ranking :smiley:

When looking at the yearly ranking, I’m 104th. All-time, I’m 422nd. Still not bad :smiley:
