Self-service access to ChatGPT ads via Ads Manager launches today across India, Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, expanding a network already live in more than 40 countries. The rollout comes as OpenAI reports its advertising arm reached a $1 billion annualized revenue run rate in less than 200 days after launch.

Ads currently run on ChatGPT Free and Go, which comprise the bulk of the platform's 1 billion weekly active users. OpenAI is touting the milestone as proof of a diversified business model and plans to introduce more campaign objectives and measurement tools, though it says ads do not influence model responses and advertisers have no access to private conversations.
