OpenAI Sets the Stage for Monday Event, But No Search Engine Coming
May. 11, 2024OpenAI has now officially announced an event forMay 13, just a day before the Google I/O event. Earlier, wereportedthat OpenAI is planning to launch itsChatGPT search engineon Monday. However, Sam Altman has shared on X that it won’t be a search engine launch, quelling all the anticipation. Neither the event is scheduled for the next big AI model,GPT-5.
Altman says, “not gpt-5, not a search engine, but we’ve been hard at work on some new stuff we think people will love! feels like magic to me.” On the other hand, OpenAI says that the company will demo someChatGPT and GPT-4 updates.
The “new stuff” might be related to anew search product, integrated within ChatGPT. It could be similar to Perplexity, rather than a full-fledged search engine like Google Search. By the way, the recently discovered subdomain for ChatGPT Search has moved from “search.chatgpt.com” to “search.chatgpt.com/search”.
As for GPT-4 updates, it’s likely OpenAI will be releasing someGPT-4 Lite models. Some model codenames have appearedonlinesuch as gpt-4l, gpt-4l-auto, and gpt-4-auto. These model names have been found in the source code of ChatGPT’s Android app.
