OpenAI announced on Monday that its advertising business has reached an annualized revenue run rate of $1 billion, marking a significant milestone in the company's diversified business model. The AI company is preparing for a major initial public offering, and is under pressure to justify its $852 billion valuation to investors.
OpenAI's ad business, which is about 200 days old, complements other revenue sources such as enterprise offerings, consumer subscriptions, and usage-based application programming interfaces. The company began testing ads within its ChatGPT chatbot in the U.S. in February, a move that was met with mixed reactions, with critics including its main rival, Anthropic, which featured OpenAI's ad push in its first Super Bowl campaign.
ChatGPT Ads are now accessible in over 40 countries, and OpenAI announced on Monday that it will launch self-service access in India, Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa.
