OpenAI expands advertising in ChatGPT to 26 additional countries, bringing the service’s ad availability to 89 markets. The company says it has surpassed 100,000 advertisers that have run campaigns on the platform, and the rollout began just over eight months ago. OpenAI announces the expansion in a blog post.
The coverage emphasizes OpenAI’s commercial push. Several outlets describe the geographic scope, including 14 new Latin American countries and additional launches across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Outlets also highlight how advertisers can access the ads through technology partners or via self-service through OpenAI’s Ads Manager.
Some reporting includes extra context about OpenAI’s revenue targets and product approach. Dawn notes the company’s earlier claim of an “annualised revenue run rate of $1 billion” for its ads business and mentions that Ads are limited to ChatGPT Free and Go plans, with other subscription tiers remaining ad-free. CNBC frames the move as part of a broader diversification effort, while others focus mainly on the scale and market count.
