Advertising

One advertisement, on the front page

This paper is read by people who follow OpenAI because their work depends on it: developers, those who buy software for a team, and those who write about the field. The front page has a single advertising position. It is marked as advertising, and it is the only one.

Advertising is the only thing we charge for. Sending us an essay or a notebook entry is free, and so is having it published. Guidance for contributors.

Price: $50, paid in full in cryptocurrency before the banner appears.

We may decline any banner. If we decline yours before it appears, you owe nothing and anything paid is returned.
Once a banner has appeared the fee is not returned. Should the site be down for more than 24 hours together during your run, that time is added to its end.
What we undertake is the position and the number of days. We give no undertaking as to views, clicks or sign-ups.
You confirm that you hold whatever licence your offer requires in the places where it is advertised.

These are the principal points. Every booking is subject to the advertising terms in full.

I have read the advertising terms, including those for the rate I chose, and I accept them.

From request to publication

You choose a rate and send the form. It arrives at the desk by email, complete.
We look at the banner and the page it opens, and answer by email, as a rule within two working days.
You pay in cryptocurrency. Once the banner is approved we send the wallet address and the exact sum by email.
The banner appears when the payment is confirmed, and the days are counted from then.

The banner

970 by 250 pixels. On a phone it is scaled down to fit, so set any wording large.
JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF, no more than 300 KB. Nothing that plays sound or flashes.
One link to a banner. It opens in a new tab and is marked as sponsored.
Nothing that could be taken for OpenAI's own. See the terms.
