ChatGPT Ads expands to Southeast Asia and Taiwan
OpenAI is rolling out ChatGPT Ads across Southeast Asia and Taiwan after a $1 billion run rate.
OpenAI began rolling out ChatGPT Ads in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and Taiwan, following earlier launches in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, and India. Ads are shown only to Free and Go users, while Plus, Pro, and Enterprise plans remain ad-free. OpenAI says ads are clearly labeled, kept separate from answers, do not influence responses, and that conversations are not sold to advertisers. The company said the business reached a $1 billion annualized revenue run rate in less than 200 days and is now available in more than 60 countries.
