OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Ads in Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, extending the ad platform to more than 60 countries. Ads appear only on the free tier and the Go plan; Plus, Pro and Enterprise subscribers see none. Businesses can buy through the self-service Ads Manager or work with OpenAI's Ads Solutions team and agency partners including Dentsu, Havas Media, Omnicom Media, Publicis Groupe and WPP.

Why it matters: The seven-market add lands in a region where OpenAI itself cites unusually high ChatGPT adoption, making it a bet on ad revenue growing fastest where free-tier usage is already largest rather than where paid conversion is easiest.
