"The trial will initially take place in the US, and will affect some ChatGPT users on the free service and a new subscription tier, called ChatGPT Go. This cheaper option will be available for all users worldwide, and will cost $8 a month, or the equivalent pricing in other currencies.

Adverts will appear at the top of ChatGPT for some users during a US trial, affecting free users and a new ChatGPT Go subscription tier. ChatGPT Go will cost $8 a month and will be available worldwide. Relevant ads may appear after user prompts, with examples showing banner-style holiday ads following travel queries. The adverts are stated not to influence responses, and conversation data will not be shared with advertisers. The move aims to expand access with fewer usage limits as the company seeks additional revenue amid large reported losses and low paid-subscription conversion.
