OpenAI, Reddit teaming in deal that will bring Reddit's content to ChatGPT
OpenAI and Reddit have announced a partnership that will see Reddit's content integrated into ChatGPT. This collaboration has already had a significant impact, with Reddit's share price increasing by over 10% before the market opened on Friday.
Benefits of the Agreement
In a blog post, Reddit revealed that the deal will provide OpenAI with access to its data application programming interface (API). This API offers real-time, structured, and unique content from the platform, which will enhance the capabilities of ChatGPT.
Statement from Reddit's Co-Founder and CEO
Reddit's co-founder and CEO, Steve Huffman, emphasized the significance of including Reddit in ChatGPT. He stated, "Reddit has become one of the internet's largest open archives of authentic, relevant, and always up-to-date human conversations about anything and everything."
This inclusion aligns with Reddit's commitment to fostering a connected internet where individuals can discover relevant content and engage with diverse communities.
Consistency and Accessibility
Reddit affirmed that the collaboration is in line with its existing content agreements and does not alter its data API or developer terms. These terms stipulate that content accessed through Reddit's API should not be used for commercial purposes without Reddit's approval.
