But he also said that he definitely acknowledges the company is still in the early process with all of this.

OpenAI has not specified whether they're planning to add ads beyond the US market.

So that's all we know for the time being that they're going to add.

I think there's a lot of competitive tension that has obviously spilled out into the public because of this.

Earlier this month, the CEO, Sam Altman, he was criticizing Anthropic on X. He basically said that they were building an expensive product aimed at rich people.

And then he was kind of defending opening eyes to free access for everyone.

He also argued that scale basically creates a different kind of challenge.

He said that more Texans use ChatGPT for free than the total number of Claude users in the US.

And I think there are some reports that say OpenAI is charged as much as $60 for a thousand impressions of ads when they start to roll these out.

And they're going to have a minimum commitment of about $200,000.

So according to the information, which is a newspaper that often gets, you know, it's a good journal online that gets leaks on a lot of these tech things.

They said that Shopify merchants can now advertise on ChatGPT through shop campaigns.

They're also joining some early testers like Target and Williams, Sonoma, and then Adobe.

All of those are going to be some of the early advertisers on the platform.

This is definitely an exciting time for OpenAI and for ChatGPT as they're basically getting record amounts of users, record amounts of money, but also they're in some tricky situations where they definitely have to still continue to hit deadlines and

continue to hit certain milestones in order to unlock a lot of this capital.

So it's going to be interesting to see how they pull this off, where they're able to get money from things like ads and other areas like that.

ChatGPT has a lot of work and a lot going for it into the future.

I'll definitely keep you up to date on everything that's going on with the company.
