Steve Huffman, Reddit’s co‑founder and CEO, told the Fast Company Most Innovative Companies Summit that Reddit’s vast, user‑generated conversations are the “digital fuel” powering today’s large language models, likening the platform’s content to oil for the AI era and saying LLMs wouldn’t exist as they do without Reddit’s data. He explained that Reddit has entered selective licensing agreements with firms such as OpenAI and Google while suing others like Anthropic for unauthorized scraping, and that the company is rolling out its own AI tools—including “Reddit Answers,” a conversational search that surfaces diverse human perspectives, and AI systems for moderation, labeling and translation that replace the “worst job on the Internet.” Huffman cautioned about the rise of low‑quality AI‑generated content and the need for community input to address new gray areas, but affirmed that Reddit’s core purpose—people talking about shared interests—will endure regardless of AI advances.

Reddit posted a stellar first‑quarter earnings report, with revenue soaring 69% year‑over‑year to $663 million—well above the $611 million analysts expected—and earnings per share hitting $1.01 versus the projected 58 cents. Net income jumped to $204 million from $26 million a year earlier, while daily active unique users rose 17% to 126.8 million, beating forecasts. Average revenue per user reached $5.23 (U.S. ARPU $9.63), also outpacing estimates, and the company forecast second‑quarter sales of $715‑$725 million and adjusted earnings of $285‑$295 million, both topping consensus. The results, reflecting a broader surge in digital advertising after strong gains by Meta and Alphabet, lifted Reddit’s stock about 6% in extended trading, and CEO Steve Huffman highlighted the platform’s “deeply engaged communities” as a unique advantage in the AI age.
