December 17, 2024 – As the “OpenAI 12 Days” event enters its eighth day, OpenAI has announced that all logged-in users can now utilize ChatGPT for search functions.
OpenAI has implemented deep optimizations into its search algorithms, enabling users to access real-time content (within minutes) in response to their inquiries. This includes information on stocks, news, and other timely topics.
With the advanced voice mode, users can engage in more natural and multi-round search conversations with ChatGPT. The enhanced search functionality, which is now available on mobile devices including Android, iOS, and tablets, boasts a over 40% increase in efficiency.
Furthermore, ChatGPT has integrated a new map feature that allows users to directly view surrounding geographical location information within search results. This enables seamless route planning and location exploration.
According to OpenAI, the search model utilizes a fine-tuned version of GPT-4o, which undergoes additional training using novel synthetic data generation techniques. This includes extracting outputs from OpenAI’s o1-preview. ChatGPT search leverages content directly provided by third-party search providers and partners to deliver the desired information to users.
