Inference-time ads
Definition
An ad slot rendered while the user waits for the model response, with the auction running in parallel to inference.
Where they show up
If your UI has a visible wait state (typing indicator, progress step, loading view), that window can host a sponsored slot without inserting an extra interruption.
For the operating model, see How wavebird works.
What the ad system sees
Relevance is based on a minimal delivery signal (typically topic category + language), not raw prompt text. See the data firewall.
Topic-based matching requires explicit user consent under Compute Sponsoring.
