In a move that sent Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) shares surging by 14% in after-hours trading, the social media platform announced a groundbreaking partnership with OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT. This collaboration is set to revolutionize the way content is curated and conversations are facilitated on the Reddit platform.
The partnership entails the integration of Reddit’s vast array of content into OpenAI’s ChatGPT system, allowing for a more dynamic and interactive user experience. Additionally, OpenAI will serve as a Reddit advertising partner, further enhancing the monetization strategies for both companies involved.
By leveraging Reddit’s data API, OpenAI will gain access to real-time, structured, and unique content from the social media platform. This exchange of information will enable OpenAI to enhance its AI systems with the wealth of authentic and relevant conversations that take place on Reddit daily.
Steve Huffman, Reddit’s CEO, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “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. Including it in ChatGPT upholds our belief in a connected internet, helps people find more of what they’re looking for, and helps new audiences find community on Reddit.”
Following the announcement, Reddit stock surged to as high as $64.52 in after-hours trading, settling at $62.61, representing an impressive 11.05% increase. This spike in share price comes on the heels of Reddit’s successful IPO in March, where it raised $750 million at $34 per share, giving the company an initial valuation of $6.5 billion.
The partnership between Reddit and OpenAI represents a significant milestone in the integration of AI technology with social media platforms. This collaboration is poised to enhance user engagement, content curation, and advertising strategies on Reddit, setting a new precedent for the industry as a whole.
