OpenAI Launches Cost-Per-Click Ads for ChatGPT

OpenAI has launched cost-per-click pricing for ChatGPT ad campaigns, allowing advertisers to pay only when users click on their ads. Screenshots from OpenAI's ad manager confirm the rollout, which expands the company's advertising offerings beyond its initial ad products. This represents a shift toward more performance-based pricing models as OpenAI builds out its ads business alongside its core AI services.

OpenAI has launched cost-per-click pricing for ChatGPT ad campaigns, allowing advertisers to pay only when users click on their ads. Screenshots from OpenAI's ad manager confirm the rollout, which expands the company's advertising offerings beyond its initial ad products. This represents a shift toward more performance-based pricing models as OpenAI builds out its ads business alongside its core AI services.

  • OpenAI now offers cost-per-click (CPC) pricing for ChatGPT ads, charging advertisers per click rather than flat rates
  • Screenshots from the ad manager confirm the feature is live, validating earlier reporting on OpenAI's advertising expansion plans
  • The CPC model joins OpenAI's existing ad offerings, giving advertisers more pricing flexibility
  • This move signals OpenAI's intent to build a meaningful ads business as a revenue stream alongside API and subscription products

OpenAI is moving beyond its core AI products to build advertising infrastructure, a major revenue lever for consumer-facing platforms. Cost-per-click pricing is the industry standard for digital ads, making ChatGPT a more direct competitor to search engines and social platforms for advertiser budgets. This shift reflects OpenAI's broader strategy to monetize its user base across multiple revenue streams.

  • OpenAI is building a full-stack advertising platform, positioning ChatGPT as a competitor to Google Search and social platforms for ad spend
  • Performance-based pricing (CPC) may drive higher advertiser adoption by reducing waste and improving ROI attribution
  • The ads business could become a significant revenue contributor, reducing OpenAI's reliance on API and subscription income

AWS Launches G7e GPU Instances for Cheaper Large Model Inference

AWS has launched G7e instances on Amazon SageMaker AI, powered by NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs with 96 GB of GDDR7 memory per GPU. The instances deliver up to 2.3x inference performance compared to previous-generation G6e instances and support configurations from 1 to 8 GPUs, enabling deployment of large language models up to 300B parameters on the largest 8-GPU node. This represents a significant upgrade in memory bandwidth, networking throughput, and model capacity for generative AI inference workloads.

Google Splits TPUs Into Training and Inference Chips

Google is splitting its eighth-generation tensor processing units into separate chips optimized for AI training and inference, a shift the company says reflects the rise of AI agents and their distinct computational needs. The training chip delivers 2.8 times the performance of its predecessor at the same price, while the inference processor (TPU 8i) achieves 80% better performance and includes triple the SRAM of the prior generation. Both chips will launch later this year as Google continues its effort to compete with Nvidia in custom AI silicon, though the company is not directly benchmarking against Nvidia's offerings.
