OpenAI says ChatGPT Ads hits $1B annualized revenue and expands worldwide

OpenAI announced that advertising within ChatGPT has reached a $1 billion annualized revenue pace. The company says it is now rolling the ads offering out to more countries, framing the move as a way to keep free and lower-cost ChatGPT tiers available. The revenue figure covers only the advertising business, not OpenAI's overall income.

WHY IT MATTERS ↘An ad-funded free tier resets the price floor for consumer AI, pressuring rivals to match on cost while turning ChatGPT's answers into an ad surface where placement incentives can conflict with neutrality. It also gives OpenAI a revenue stream independent of API and subscription demand, strengthening its position in the compute-heavy race.
