Will OpenAI outmatch Google?

OpenAI Announces SearchGPT: A New AI-Powered Search Engine

This just in: OpenAI has launched SearchGPT, a pilot AI-powered search engine available starting with 10,000 users. This new tool is designed to provide real-time access to information across the internet, organizing and making sense of data rather than just listing links. 

How it works: Users start by entering a query. SearchGPT then provides a summary of relevant information and includes links to the original sources. Users can further refine their search by asking follow-up questions, which are displayed in a sidebar with additional related links.

Competitive landscape: This move marks OpenAI’s bold entry into the competitive search engine market. It directly challenges Google and Perplexity, signaling a shift in how AI can redefine search. This move intensifies competition as companies race to integrate advanced AI features and secure user engagement.

Comparing search engines side-by-side:

• Perplexity: An AI "answer" engine that provides real-time information with detailed answers and higher usage limits. It’s user-friendly and ideal for intensive research tasks.

• SearchGPT: A prototype aiming to integrate AI search capabilities directly into ChatGPT. It focuses on quick, accurate responses, interactive charts, and rich content using retrieval augmented generation (RAG) to lower hallucinations.

• Google: The established leader, integrating features like AI Overviews that provide AI-generated summaries. Google's search engine is comprehensive but has faced reliability issues with AI-generated content.

Meta releases the biggest open-source AI model yet

On Tuesday, Meta released Llama 3.1, the largest-ever open-source AI model, which outperforms OpenAI and other rivals on certain benchmarks. Mark Zuckerberg is confident that Meta’s AI assistant will surpass ChatGPT’s usage in the coming months. Let’s dig deeper → 

Key details:

• Unprecedented scale: Llama 3.1 is significantly more complex than previous versions, boasting 405 billion parameters and trained with over 16,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs. This massive model brings unparalleled processing power to the table.

• Advanced features: This model generates images based on specific likenesses and integrates with search engine APIs to perform intricate tasks. It's designed to handle a wide range of applications, from creative arts to complex data analysis.

Collaboration highlights:

• Meta is working with over two dozen companies, including Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Nvidia, and Databricks, to deploy Llama 3.1. These partnerships enhance the model’s utility across various applications and industries.

• This collaborative effort ensures Llama 3.1 will be continually improved and tailored to meet diverse needs.

Why it matters: The trend of making AI models open-source rather than proprietary is gaining momentum. Open-source models like Llama 3.1 democratize access to advanced AI, enabling more developers to innovate without high costs. This mirrors the success of open-source projects like Linux, which transformed the tech landscape by fostering collaboration and innovation.
