OpenAI will test visual ads in ChatGPT during image generation, starting in the US

OpenAI announced a visual ad format for ChatGPT on October 5, 2026. The first test shows image-based ads while ChatGPT generates an image, and it starts later in October in the US with an initial group of advertisers. OpenAI says the ads are clearly labeled, stay separate from the image being created, and do not influence ChatGPT's answers. For advertisers, the same announcement adds conversion tracking through measurement tools they already use.
