Microsoft announced on Tuesday a new version of its Bing search engine powered by a next-generation OpenAI language model more powerful than ChatGPT and specially trained for web search.
"Today, we're launching Bing and Edge powered by AI copilot and chat, to help people get more from search and the web."
The new Bing engine will also be available through the chat experience, which can be found at the top of the search user interface.
This feature is currently only in the Microsoft Edge Developer channel and can be accessed by clicking on the Bing logo above the sidebar.
Microsoft says that users can "Get ahead in the line" by downloading the 'Microsoft Defaults' program, which sets Edge and Bing as your default browser and search engine, and by installing the Microsoft Bing app.
Microsoft also uses the AI model with the core Bing search-ranking engine, which, according to the company, has led to "The largest jump in relevance in two decades," making searches more relevant and accurate.
