🔎 OpenAI launches ChatGPT search

The Rundown: OpenAI just announced the integration of new web search capabilities directly into ChatGPT, transforming the chatbot into a real-time information hub that puts the platform in direct competition with Google and traditional search engines.

The details:

• The new search feature provides instant answers about topics such as news, sports, stocks, and weather, with direct source attribution and links.

• ChatGPT will automatically trigger searches when needed, though users can manually activate web searches using a globe icon.

• The system runs on a specialized version of GPT-4o, fine-tuned for web info — with outputs including sourcing and clickable links to original content.

• Major publishers, including AP, Reuters, Axel Springer, and others, have signed licensing deals with OpenAI to provide content directly to the platform.

• Access starts with Plus and Team users today, expanding to Enterprise/Edu users within weeks and free users in the coming months.

Why it matters: After months of rumors and speculation, OpenAI’s search transformation is finally here. The move could signal a major shift in how we access info online, blending AI's conversational abilities with traditional search functionality, which could reshape both the search engine landscape and user habits.

🚀 Sam Altman’s Reddit AMA, Dev Day updates

The Rundown: OpenAI hosted its first international Dev Day in London this week, showcasing new o1 and real-time voice API capabilities — alongside a revealing Reddit AMA with CEO Sam Altman and other members of the leadership team.

The details:

• Demos included the o1-mini model creating a functioning drone control app, utilizing the Realtime API to order pies for the large group, and more.

• OpenAI slashed prices for its Realtime API, discounting text inputs by 50% and audio by 80%, along with five new voices for speech-to-speech capabilities.

• During the Reddit AMA, Altman admitted that OpenAI "can't ship as many things in parallel" as hoped due to model complexity and computing constraints.

• He also noted that the team prioritizes ‘shipping o1 and its successors,’ with OpenAI Chief Product Officer Kevin Weil saying the full o1 release will be ‘soon.’

• Altman revealed that ‘nothing called GPT-5’ will arrive this year, but ‘very good releases’ are still planned for late 2024.

Why it matters: OpenAI is shipping fast, but the candid admissions show that even the AI leader faces infrastructure limitations when it comes to executing each ambitious roadmap item. Even if GPT-5 isn’t coming in 2024, there is enough smoke to guess that Altman and Co. still have something big up their sleeves for December.

NVIDIA

🤖 Tiny AI model masters humanoid control

The Rundown: Nvidia just published new research showcasing HOVER, a small 1.5M parameter neural network that can control whole-body robotic movement effectively across various modes and input methods.

The details:

• Despite being thousands of times smaller than typical AI models, the model achieves superior performance compared to specialized controllers.

• Nvidia trained the system in its ‘Isaac simulator,’ which compresses a year of robot training into just 50 minutes on a single GPU.

• The system works seamlessly with diverse input methods, including VR headsets, motion capture, exoskeletons, and joysticks.

• HOVER also transfers directly from simulation to real robots without requiring additional fine-tuning.

Why it matters: While the AI world races toward larger models, HOVER shows that smaller systems can still outperform. The ability to work across multiple control modes with minimal compute requirements could help democratize advanced robotics control — making building sophisticated humanoid systems more accessible and practical.
