OpenAI will begin testing conversation‑linked ads in the free version of ChatGPT in the coming weeks. The rollout comes as a three‑way AI platform race intensifies — Google is folding Gemini “Personal Intelligence” into Gmail, YouTube and Photos, Anthropic is pushing Claude and new Cowork tools, and other industry moves (Apple choosing Gemini for Siri, Microsoft and Samsung actions, and BlackRock’s labor analysis) underscore accelerating competition and infrastructure challenges.
