OpenAI turns ChatGPT into a search engine, aims directly at Google


OpenAI launches ChatGPT web search to rival Google, partners with major publishers, and invests $5 billion in custom AI chips while Microsoft takes $1.5B quarterly hit from its AI investments.

Unlike traditional search engines (i.e. Google and Bing) that return a list of links, ChatGPT now processes questions in natural language and delivers curated answers with clear source attribution. “ChatGPT search promises to better highlight and attribute information from trustworthy news sources, benefiting audiences while expanding the reach of publishers like ourselves who produce premium journalism,” said Pam Wasserstein, President of Vox Media, in a statement. The company recently announced deals with AMD, Broadcom, and TSMC to develop custom AI chips by 2026 — a move to reduce its reliance on Nvidia’s expensive processors.
