On May 13, OpenAI plans to stream a live event at 1 PM ET, focusing on updates related to ChatGPT and GPT-4. The announcement, shared via OpenAI’s X account, clarified that the session will not introduce GPT-5 or a new search engine, which has been a point of speculation in the AI community.
CEO Sam Altman emphasized the excitement over upcoming innovations, while President and Co-Founder Greg Brockman echoed similar sentiments, suggesting that viewers will find value in the new developments. The timing of this livestream coincides with the Google I/O event, prompting increased interest in how these advancements might shift market dynamics.
Despite the anticipation surrounding a potential ChatGPT search engine, the focus on existing technologies was unexpected. Following Altman's clarification, Google’s stock saw a rise, reflecting a sense of relief among its executives. As the event approaches, speculation regarding new features or projects, such as GPT-4.5 or an initiative named Sora, continues to grow.
