Contrary to rumors and a current report, OpenAI won’t announce an AI-powered search engine at an event on Monday, in line with its CEO and co-founder Sam Altman announced this via X on Friday.
The news was Echo on X by OpenAI President Greg Brockman.
However, the corporate announced this through its official company account on X that it could stream live from its website on Monday, May 13, starting at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET to “exhibit some ChatGPT and GPT-4 updates.”
The OpenAI website has updated a banner at the highest that claims “Spring Updates” in addition to a button for users to download one .ics calendar file and add the event to their very own digital calendars in Outlook, Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, etc.
Now speculation has begun as as to if only OpenAI can be announced, if not a search engine.
Many assume this can be “agentic AI,” a term that has quickly gained currency within the AI industry because it refers to programs or “AI agents” that operate on top of basic AI models and might routinely plan and execute actions on behalf of individuals.
Startup Cognition's automated software developer application Devin is an example of a robust latest AI agent based on OpenAI's GPT-4 Turbo model.
OpenAI last updated its long context and fast GPT 4 Turbo model and API in early April and reclaimed the title strongest AI model on the planet According to many third-party benchmarks, it displaces the transient reign of rival Anthropic's Claude 3 Opus, which was unveiled a month earlier.
Altman also recently appeared to fuel speculation that the mysterious “gpt2 chatbot” that has appeared, disappeared and reappeared on the Internet over the past two months is definitely a new edition of ChatGPT or an analog chatbot from OpenAI.
Maybe it would be presented on the OpenAI event and more explained about what it was designed for…stay tuned. We will broadcast the event live here on Monday.
