OpenAI The company published a blog post yesterday (July 25) inviting some users to test AI Search Engine SearchGPT, and plans to integrate it into the ChatGPT service in the future.
Early this morning, OpenAI announced the launch of its search engine, SearchGPT, an AI-powered search tool that can access Internet information in real time.
The interface of SearchGPT starts with a large text box asking the user "What are you looking for?" Unlike traditional search engines, SearchGPT does not just return a list of links, but tries to organize and summarize the search results. For example, it can summarize information about a music festival and provide a short description, and users can view more related links through the sidebar.
Currently, SearchGPT is still in the "prototype" stage, supported by the GPT-4 series model, and initially only open to 10,000 test users. An OpenAI spokesperson said that it is working with third-party partners and using direct content sources to build search results. The future goal is to integrate search capabilities directly into ChatGPT.
The launch of SearchGPT marks the beginning of OpenAI's competition with Google, which is also rapidly adding artificial intelligence features to its search engine. OpenAI has taken note of previous criticism during development, especially in terms of content use, emphasizing cooperation with news partners to ensure clear attribution and linking of information in search results. After launch, publishers can opt out of their content being used to train the model, but still be displayed in search.
Released as a prototype, SearchGPT helps OpenAI reduce risks in the event of inaccurate results. In addition, OpenAI needs to find a way to commercialize it as soon as possible, because although the search engine will be free in the early stages, the company's operating costs are increasing rapidly. Overall, the launch of SearchGPT heralds further development and innovation of artificial intelligence in the field of search.
SearchGPT is currently only open to a small number of users. Currently, visiting its page shows a "Join the waitlist" option. The official introduction is: "A new search feature prototype that uses the advantages of our artificial intelligence model to provide you with clear, relevant and quick answers."
