OpenAI, backed by key investor Microsoft and integrated with Bing, is set to announce a new AI-powered search engine on Monday, May 13, under the leadership of Sam Altman. This strategic move is scheduled a day before Google's annual I/O conference, intensifying the competition in the AI search market. OpenAI's search engine is an extension of its flagship ChatGPT product, which will now include the ability to pull direct information from the web and cite sources. The announcement has sparked discussions about its potential impact on Google's dominance in the search engine market.

Scott the VRNerd 🍓 What are peoples guesses on the OpenAI demo showcase on Monday? Here are my guesses. - Video/Audio inputs. - A newer model like GPT-4.5 - Maybe Sora will be integrated into ChatGPT and Dalle-3 is no longer needed. - Cheaper API calls - Something like Devin but built into ChatGPT.
Kristi Hines If it’s not GPT-5 or a search engine… Maybe OpenAI is developing calling features and an AI Assistant so ChatGPT can become the next Siri for iPhone and other Apple iProducts?📱 #ai #rumors https://t.co/UjMtLWKumZ https://t.co/4jTQ3rqSom
