**OpenAI Reports $1 Billion Ad Revenue Milestone**
OpenAI announced on Monday that its ChatGPT Ads reached a $1 billion annualized revenue run rate in under 200 days since launch. This ad business currently contributes 3.7% of OpenAI’s annualized second-quarter revenue, which grew 18% to $6.7 billion, despite widening losses. OpenAI maintains plans for a potential IPO, with valuation estimates as high as $1 trillion.
**Widespread User Engagement and Future Plans**
The platform has surpassed 1 billion weekly active users, alongside tens of thousands of advertisers operating in over 40 countries. OpenAI aims to generate $2.5 billion in ad revenue this year and expects to reach $100 billion by 2030. However, regulatory hurdles await, as European regulators classify ChatGPT as a “very large” online search engine, imposing new compliance requirements.
