October 31, 2024: OpenAI Integrates LLM-Powered Search in ChatGPT - OpenAI has introduced a new search engine in ChatGPT, enhancing its ability to deliver direct, natural language answers instead of linking webpages. This tool, initially tested as SearchGPT, complements existing AI search features like Googles AI Overviews. It utilizes a customized GPT-4o model, optimized with synthetic data and model distillation. Currently available to paid subscribers, it will expand to free users in the future.
