TOP STORY

ChatGPT becomes a real-time Search Engine

The Summary: OpenAI has launched SearchGPT, a real-time web search feature that lets ChatGPT users access live information on news, sports, stock prices, weather, and more. ChatGPT now offers instant answers linked to reliable sources and direct website links.

Key details:

• Live now for ChatGPT Plus/Team users; coming to Enterprise/Edu in weeks and free users within months

• AI auto-triggers searches, or users can manually activate the web icon

• Chrome extension available to replace Google as default search engine

• Built on fine-tuned GPT-4o optimized for web data processing

• Information sourced from OpenAI partners like Reuters, AP, and others.

Why it matters: Embedding web search directly within ChatGPT brings a new level of search convenience and challenges traditional search engines. This approach, much like Perplexity AI, combines conversational AI with up-to-the-minute information from trusted media sources. This development could reshape how web publishers interact with digital platforms and change the flow of online information.

ChatGPT Plus and Team users can try it now

Runway Gen-3 AI Video generator adds 6-axis camera movement

The Summary: Runway added camera control to Gen-3 Alpha Turbo, giving creators precise control over videos move and flow. Users can now direct camera movements with precision - from smooth pans to dramatic zooms. The update brings professional cinematography tools to AI video generation, making it feel more like a real film set.

Key details:

• Camera moves include horizontal/vertical motion, pan/tilt, zoom, and rotation - all with adjustable intensity from 0.1 to 10

• Movement speed depends on subject distance - close shots require less speed than wide landscapes

• Text prompts can guide the AI to maintain scene consistency during camera moves

Why it matters: Simple directional controls make AI video composition predictable and precise. By adding these controls to their Turbo model, Runway enables reliable AI cinematography with realistic movements, that would typically require over $100K in real-world gear.

OpenAI CEO reveals next big moves for ChatGPT

The Summary: In a Reddit “Ask Me Anything”, Sam Altman and his team shared details on major updates for ChatGPT in 2025. The primary goal is to develop an autonomous AI agent that can initiate tasks on its own. The team also plans to add image input to the o1 model, and increase ChatGPT context window. Altman predicts these tools will boost founder productivity by 10x, enabling better startups with less coordination overhead.

Key details:

• AI agents capable of initiating tasks autonomously are on the roadmap, targeted for 2025

• Inference costs to drop further, following a 10x reduction over the past year

• GPT-5 set for 2025, may “saturate all benchmarks”

• Both o1 and regular GPT models will continue development

• The full o1 model will significantly outperform o1-preview

• o1 will include multimodal input, tool use, and image generation

Why it matters: These upgrades aim to evolve ChatGPT from a responsive assistant into a more autonomous and proactive partner. With faster, cheaper processing and advanced capabilities, ChatGPT is moving toward handling complex tasks independently, making it a powerful sidekick for problem-solving and daily work.
