Part 4/12:
This new feature is powered by a combination of search technology with significant input from Microsoft’s Bing search engine. The underlying model is a refined version of GPT-4, initially released to a select group of users in July under the name "Search GPT." OpenAI's engineers have been working behind the scenes to optimize the system, which now blends generative AI with real-time data acquisition to offer fresher, more accurate results.
Importantly, OpenAI intends to continually update and improve the training data, ensuring that the AI's internal knowledge remains relevant even as it fetches live information from the web. The search capabilities span across all major platforms—iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows—making it broadly accessible.
