Day 8 and 9 of 12 Days of OpenAI Revamp Search and Supercharge Developers

Days 8 and 9 of the 12 Days of OpenAI—where for 12 days of December, the company will launch new product innovations for the AI space—ring in exciting launches for both search and developer experiences.

Day 8 unveiled ChatGPT search, a search experience blending ChatGPT’s natural language interface with fresh, up-to-date web sources linked in its returned results. Available at chatgpt.com, as well as on both desktop and mobile apps—including a Chrome extension—ChatGPT search streamlines internet search in a conversational, contextual fashion.

ChatGPT search eases the process of internet searching by offering a natural language interface capable of responding with high-quality information sourced from the web. Users can ask follow-up questions, as ChatGPT search retains conversation context. Key to this announcement is OpenAI’s partnership with several different news and data providers, delivering fresh information and exciting visuals for ChatGPT users.

“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.

“We are convinced that AI search will be, in a near future and for the next generations, a primary way to access information, and partnering with OpenAI positions Le Monde at the forefront of this shift,” said Louis Dreyfus, CEO and publisher of Le Monde. “It allows us to test innovations at an early stage while safeguarding journalism’s core values and integrity.”

As Day 9 arrived, Olivier Godement, head of product and platform at OpenAI, made clear that it was all about developers. OpenAI is debuting several new models and features, including the migration of o1 out of preview in the API.

OpenAI o1 is a reasoning model designed to handle complex multi-step tasks with advanced accuracy, which is now being rolled out to developers on usage tier 5 in the API. o1 is production-ready, coming with a variety of capabilities such as function calling, structured outputs, developer messages, vision capabilities, and more.

In addition to the o1 launch is the Developer Playground, which offers a clean UI for experimenting with OpenAI’s models. Within this Playground, developers can communicate various instructions to the model regarding how it should behave. For example, the user can upload a tax return form and instruct the model to check for and list its errors, as shown in OpenAI’s live demo.

Day 9 also brought a myriad of other developer tools, including Realtime API updates, Preference Fine-Tuning, and new Go and Java SDKs.
