"There are many good places for advertising. A conversation with Claude is not one of them."
"We want Claude to act unambiguously in our users' interests," Anthropic wrote. "So we've made a choice: Claude will remain ad-free. Our users won't see 'sponsored' links adjacent to their conversations with Claude; nor will Claude's responses be influenced by advertisers or include third-party product placements our users did not ask for."
"OpenAI said those ads would appear at the bottom of responses and would not influence the chatbot's actual answers."
Anthropic announced that Claude will remain free of advertisements and that conversations with Claude will not include sponsored links, product placements, or advertiser influence. Anthropic framed ads as incompatible with Claude's role as a helpful assistant for work and deep thinking and ran a Super Bowl ad mocking assistants that interrupt personal conversations with product pitches. OpenAI is testing banner ads for free ChatGPT users and ChatGPT Go subscribers in the U.S., with paid tiers remaining ad-free. Competition between Anthropic and OpenAI has intensified around AI coding tools, with many developers adopting Claude Code over OpenAI-powered alternatives.
