OpenAI, the developer of the popular AI chatbot ChatGPT, has announced that it will be unveiling new ChatGPT updates via a public livestream on May 13. The updates will also affect GPT-4, the more advanced language model that powers ChatGPT.
In a social media post, OpenAI revealed that the livestream will take place at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST on Monday, May 13 (or Tuesday, May 14 at 3am AEST for Australian viewers). While the company didn’t reveal too much about the upcoming ChatGPT updates, CEO Sam Altman hinted that they will be significant, saying “We’ve been hard at work on some new stuff we think people will love… Feels like magic to me.”
Rumors had been circulating that OpenAI would be launching a search engine to rival Google, but Altman put those rumors to rest, stating that the reveal won’t be GPT-5 and won’t be a search engine. Instead, the focus will be on the new ChatGPT updates, which are expected to bring significant improvements to the AI chatbot’s capabilities.
The future of web search is likely to involve AI in some way, and companies like OpenAI, Google, and Apple are already exploring how AI can enhance search results. Microsoft’s Copilot, for example, uses a large language model to generate answers to user queries, rather than simply displaying a list of links.
Tune in to the OpenAI livestream on May 13 to learn more about the latest ChatGPT updates and how they will shape the future of AI technology.
