With the launch of the SearchGPT prototype, which is the advanced search version of the existing ChatGPT, OpenAI has taken on its Google competitor, the market leader in internet search.
According to OpenAI, the new SearchGPT feature will enable users to get fast, timely answers by using links to relevant web sources, which you would have previously needed to go to a search engine for.
“This blends the benefits of a natural language interface with the value of up-to-date sports scores, news, stock quotes, and more,” added OpenAI.
The Open-AI-created existing ChatGPT browses the web based on what you ask, or you can manually choose to search by clicking the web search icon to get real-time answers.
On the other hand, ChatGPT Search, powered by an enhanced version of OpenAI’s GPT-4 model, delivers real-time information and images directly from the web sources and links.
This can help get real-time information and updates such as sports scores, news updates, stock prices, and more and these will be presented with links to credible sources. Users can also ask follow-up questions to refine their searches.
Notably, unlike most features of ChatGPT, the ChatGPT search will be a paid service. This search version is currently available for all ChatGPT Plus and Team users.
Moreover, SearchGPT waitlisted users will also get that on Friday. Enterprise and Edu users will get access in the next few weeks. OpenAI will also roll out the feature to all its Free users over the coming months.
As per OpenAI spokesperson Niko Felix, theChatGPT Search model is an optimised version of GPT-4o. It is further trained with innovative synthetic data generation methods, including output distillation from OpenAI’s o1-preview, an India Today report stated
ChatGPT Search integrates information from third-party search engines alongside direct content from partnered providers to deliver the answers users seek, the publication further reported.
