Not yet. But they likely will, if OpenAI's ad revenue becomes worthwhile.

Or they view it as a differentiator and focus on a different segment. As I understand it, this is what Anthropic is doing:

1. Focus on businesses and developers

2. Make money on productivity and API platform

Enterprises are particularly sensitive about their data being farmed (e.g. note that paid Google accounts don’t have their emails used for ads.)

Keeping that trust is not a differentiator and existentially important to Anthropic.

		I just don't believe that is likely. I think that, despite Anthropic's present statements, they will move to ads if ads prove successful for ChatGPT or Gemini. It would be viewed as "leaving money on the table" by their board and shareholders if they didn't.

		this is false and not how things work at the enterprise level. trust is important and it is not lost by showing ads in free tier. trust is lost in other ways.
