  • OpenAI recently launched ChatGPT search — a fine-tuned version of GPT-4o, post-trained using novel synthetic data generation techniques.
  • The search tool is based on feedback from OpenAI’s temporary prototype search tool, SearchGPT. The ChatGPT maker plans to enhance its user experience, especially in the shopping and travel categories.
  • The tool shipped globally to Plus and Team users, meaning you’ll need $20 monthly to access it.

The temporary prototype tool has garnered considerable interest among users.
