OpenAI platform announced holding an official press event on the thirteenth of May to unveil the new updates to the artificial intelligence model GPT-4 and the ChatGPT robot it relies on, according to the company’s statement in a previous post on Twitter.
In a comment on the announcement, Sam Altman, the CEO of the company, denied in another post that the upcoming event is related to launching new products like the GPT-5 model or a search engine release.
Altman’s denial comes after an increase in new reports about the alleged search engine, following OpenAI’s event that preceded Google’s annual developer conference Google I/O 2024 by 24 hours, indicating a connection between the two events.
Recent news reports have confirmed that the company plans to launch a new search engine based on artificial intelligence to compete with Google, similar to the functions provided by artificial intelligence in Microsoft’s Bing search engine.
Bloomberg previously mentioned in its report that the product would be able to search the internet and provide sources in its results, using images such as charts and other relevant graphics to answer queries, according to the report.
Altman added: “We have been working on introducing some new enhancements that we believe people will enjoy, and it seems like magic to me.”
Other reports indicate that OpenAI plans to release the GPT-5 model in 2024, the model expected after the success of the current GPT-4 model.
