Following its recent $10 billion investment in OpenAI, Microsoft is now overhauling its Bing search engine and Edge browser with a next-generation OpenAI large language model. Bing and Edge will now draw on OpenAI’s infrastructure to provide you with summarized answers to your specific search queries instead of presenting you with a huge amount of links to search results.
Microsoft is also applying the new AI model to its search algorithm and claims that the new OpenAI model used in Bing and Edge is faster, more accurate and more capable than ChatGPT.
Bing will keep its classic search results page although it will now provide more relevant results for basic queries. Users can also ask Bing to plan their trips, write poetry, rewrite code in a different programming language, and more. The new AI chat feature will feature a sidebar where you can type short or long search queries, get answers, and then refine your question until you get the answer you need.

Microsoft Edge will also come with OpenAI and users will be able to get contextual information for the page they are browsing. The sidebar in Edge has tabs for chat, composition, overview, and site info. Users will have options to format search responses for an email, blog post, or bulleted list. Users can also set a length for the reply ranging from short to medium and long.
