– OpenAI has a livestreamed announcement planned for 10 a.m. PT on Monday
– The event will showcase updates to ChatGPT and GPT-4, not GPT-5 or a search engine
– There are reports suggesting OpenAI may announce an AI-powered search feature, possibly based on Bing and integrated into ChatGPT
OpenAI is set to make an announcement during a livestream scheduled for 10 a.m. PT on Monday. The company is tempering expectations by describing the event as an opportunity to showcase updates to ChatGPT and GPT-4. CEO Sam Altman hinted at exciting new developments, reassuring that it’s not GPT-5 or a search engine, but something they believe people will love.
Reports earlier in the week suggested that OpenAI might be unveiling an AI-powered search product on Monday, potentially overshadowing Google I/O developer conference which starts the next day. Despite this, Altman’s messaging suggests that the announcement might not necessarily be about a search engine, although sources report that the product will involve integrating Bing to allow ChatGPT to search the web and cite sources, making it more transparent.
Thus, while OpenAI could potentially introduce a search feature on Monday, Altman’s comments indicate that it might resemble something different than a traditional search engine. The livestream event will be broadcast on the OpenAI website at 10 a.m. PT on Monday, giving interested viewers the opportunity to tune in and see what new developments the company has been working on.
