Breaking news! OpenAI opens ChatGPT search for free, no registration required

At 3 a.m. Beijing time on February 6, 2025, OpenAI announced that it would open the ChatGPT search function to all users without registration.
Compared with traditional search engines such as Google, ChatGPT search can capture network information faster and achieve minute-level analysis, which is very helpful for industries such as stocks, sports, and finance that need to quickly obtain news content in the first place.
At the same time, with the help of the power of large models, users’ search ideas can be better interpreted, and the source address of search results can be provided.
In this regard, some netizens said that the Google era is over and Google search will decline significantly.
The ChatGPT search interface is very simple, just open the search button below. Whether the reasoning next to it shows the reasoning chain is whether the large model shows the entire reasoning process.
The latest report from Goldman Sachs pointed out that the rise of DeepSeek means that the development of the AI ​​industry is shifting from the hardware infrastructure layer to the software application layer. This trend not only impacts “American exceptionalism”, but also provides new opportunities for the diversified development of the global market.
At the beginning of 2025, DeepSeek appeared as a disruptive role and quickly entered the application field. On January 20, DeepSeek released the DeepSeek-R1 model. During the Spring Festival, DeepSeek took the “C position” of the global large model with its low cost, high performance, and open source, triggering a huge shock in US technology stocks.
According to analysts at research firm Bernstein, DeepSeek’s pricing is only one twentieth or even one fortieth of OpenAI’s similar models.
DeepSeek has triggered a price war. In the past two days, OpenAI released a new o3 large model, which is free to the public. Last week, Microsoft also released the o1 inference model for free to all Copilot users.
