OpenAI Rolls Out ChatGPT Search to All Users, Including Free Accounts
Dec 16, 2024, 08:02 PM
OpenAI has announced the rollout of ChatGPT Search to all users, including those with free accounts, marking a significant expansion of its AI-powered search capabilities. Previously available only to paid subscribers, this feature allows users to search the web directly within the ChatGPT interface. The rollout began on December 16, 2024, as part of OpenAI's '12 Days of OpenAI' event, which has also introduced new products like the Sora video generator and a $200 per month Pro subscription plan. Enhancements include an optimized mobile experience, the ability to set ChatGPT Search as the default search engine in browsers, and integration with advanced voice mode for paid users. A new search button has been added to the user interface, enabling users to activate the search function. This move could potentially challenge Google's market dominance in search, as ChatGPT Search aims to provide faster, more accurate results by pulling from primary sources.
