On Friday (May 10) local time, artificial intelligence (AI) research company openai said that it will announce product updates in a live broadcast next Monday.

is not . The company also stated that it will not release gpt-5 or search engine products at that time.

openai CEO sam Altman (Altman) also quoted the above news on the X platform and said that GPT-5 will not be released next Monday, nor will the AI ​​search engine be released. He also said, " we have been working hard to develop some new things that we think people will like, and it feels like magic to me."

Altman's post was in part a response to Reuters' earlier reports at some time. Reuters previously reported that OpenAI plans to release an AI-powered search engine product next Monday to compete with search engine overlord Google and AI search startup Perplexity. However, the report also pointed out that the announced date may change.

Some netizens expressed disappointment in this regard. After all, this is not the first time.

Some netizens also said that if openai does not launch an AI search engine, it will lose Apple’s current position in the field of artificial intelligence.

After the above news came out, Google's stock price reacted positively, with a significant rise during the day and a narrowing of the decline.

Last week, multiple sources confirmed that openai will release the highly anticipated chatgpt search engine product. OpenAI will announce the news at 10 a.m. local time on May 9, which is approximately 2 a.m. Beijing time on Friday.

A few days after the above-mentioned May 9 timetable was revealed, there were other reports that OpenAI was considering postponing this week’s product launch event.

Industry insiders pointed out that OpenAI’s original release schedule of May 9th is quite interesting, because Google will hold its annual “Google i/o” conference on May 14th, and OpenAI does not want to steal Google’s technology conference. The product is in the limelight. Thursday’s news broke on May 13, just one day before Google’s major conference. However, judging from the latest situation, openai ultimately did not "jump ahead" of Google.

In fact, as early as February this year, there were media reports that openai was developing a search engine, which caused significant fluctuations in Google's stock price. Google has dominated the global search market for more than 20 years, with a market share of more than 90%.

Google has been worried that rival AI services could pose a threat to its search business, which generates most of its revenue from digital ad sales and generates more than $220 billion in advertising revenue annually through its search business.

In addition to search engines, the outside world is also concerned about when openai will release gpt-5. More than a year has passed since OpenAI announced gpt-4 in March last year. The company also fully opened the free use of gpt-3.5 in April this year.

According to Bloomberg, OpenAI’s search product is an extension of its flagship ChatGPT product, enabling ChatGpt to obtain direct information from the web and include citations. chatgpt is OpenAI’s chatbot product that uses the company’s cutting-edge artificial intelligence models to generate human-like responses to text prompts.

Industry observers have long hailed chatgpt as an alternative for gathering information online, although it has struggled to provide accurate, real-time information from the web. OpenAI earlier offered integration with Microsoft Bing for paid users. Meanwhile, Google announced generative AI capabilities for its namesake engine.
