It says advertisers can use technology partners or self-service Ads Manager access in the newly supported countries. The announcement states that ads appear only on Free and Go plans, while Plus, Pro and Enterprise remain ad-free. This entry reports OpenAI’s announced rollout and plan policy; it does not assert that every account has already received access or include unverified campaign-performance claims.
