With OpenAI’s addition of a search feature to ChatGPT, the company will now be challenging Google’s search dominance, which is a lofty goal.
OpenAI appears to be challenging Google and Bing in the search space, as it adds search functionality to ChatGPT. The company says that “thanks to feedback from the SearchGPT prototype, we brought the best of the SearchGPT experience into ChatGPT.” This new feature will be available across OpenAI’s web, desktop, and mobile ChatGPT offerings for Plus and Team users alongside those on the SearchGPT waitlist. Edu and Enterprise users will get the feature “in the coming weeks,” with Free users having to wait a few months.
This search feature is being powered by a “fine-tuned version of GPT-4o,” which has been trained using synthetic data generated by the OpenAI o1-preview model.
