ChatGPT can now browse the web and integrate up-to-date information into its responses, according to a Sept. 27 post on X (formerly Twitter) from artificial intelligence (AI) firm OpenAI. 

The updates are available immediately for Plus and Enterprise users using the GPT-4 model, according to the post. The web browsing feature will be available for other users “soon,” but OpenAI didn’t specify whether that meant GPT-4 would be enabled for non-premium users or if browsing would be implemented for the GPT 3.5 model.

OpenAI did not immediately respond to a request for clarification.

Per the post:

“ChatGPT can now browse the internet to provide you with current and authoritative information, complete with direct links to sources. It is no longer limited to data before September 2021.”

Before this update, ChatGPT suffered from an ever-widening gap in its knowledge base. Due to the nature of how AI models such as generative pre-trained transformers (GPT) are trained, ChatGPT’s knowledge base previously ended in 2021 — presumably the year it was essentially finalized for production.

In previous testing, OpenAI reported successes and setbacks in its attempts to implement browsing with ChatGPT. In June of 2023, reports began to surface that beta versions of ChatGPT with browse were being used to bypass paywalls. It also appeared to have a penchant for hallucinating and sometimes conflating recent and historical information.
