Microsoft unveils new Bing, Edge browser backed by upgraded OpenAI language model

The bid to lead the AI race is gaining momentum. After Google announced its ChatGPT rival called Bard, Microsoft on Tuesday announced a brand new version of its search engine Bing and Edge browser. The new Bing runs on a “new, next-generation OpenAI large language model that is more powerful than ChatGPT and customised specifically for search,” according to Microsoft’s blog post.

Microsoft has claimed that Bing and Edge will together offer newer ways to experience the internet and that its AI-backed technology will redefine searching for information. The surprise event by Microsoft kickstarted with CEO Satya Nadella saying how AI has made it an incredibly exciting time.
