Trade Desk Pursues OpenAI ChatGPT Advertising Partnership
Trade Desk is reportedly in early talks with OpenAI to help place advertisements in ChatGPT, prompting an 18% stock surge on March 5 after shares fell more than 50% over the past 52 weeks. OpenAI plans U.S. ad tests in its free and Go tiers, and with ChatGPT claiming 900 million weekly users, a Trade Desk partnership could materially increase ad spend routed through its platform, though analyst targets and recent growth trends leave significant uncertainty.
