OpenAI Makes ChatGPT Web Browsing Standard, Launches DALL-E 3 Beta
OpenAI officially removes the beta label from its live web browsing feature for ChatGPT, eliminating the old 2021 knowledge cutoff. The company also introduces a beta version of DALL-E 3 for Plus and Enterprise users, bringing advanced image generation directly into the chat interface.
OpenAI officially brings live web browsing out of beta for ChatGPT, making it a standard option under the GPT-4 model selector. This change eliminates the need for users to toggle a beta setting and effectively removes the chatbot's previous September 2021 knowledge cutoff, allowing it to pull in current information for tasks like technical research and vacation planning.
In addition to web browsing, OpenAI releases DALL-E 3 in beta for ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise subscribers. Unlike its predecessor, this next-generation image generator operates directly within the ChatGPT interface so users do not have to switch to a separate app or website to create pictures.
DALL-E 3 promises significantly better comprehension of detailed prompts and improved rendering of notoriously difficult elements like human hands. The updated tool also allows users to refine images through natural language follow-up queries and actively refuses to mimic the styles of living artists to avoid potential legal issues.
