Microsoft Bing Chat with GPT-4 Now Available for Everyone Without Waitlist

As the AI war intensifies, Microsoft has announced that Bing Chat powered by GPT-4 is now available to everyone. Earlier users were only able to access Bing with GPT-4 by joining the waitlist using their email addresses. Once they cleared the waitlist, users would receive an email letting them know that they would be able to access the new Bing at Bing.com. 

What the New Microsoft Bing Chat Will Offer Users?

Along with making the search platform available for all, Microsoft has also announced the following new updates to Bing:

• Bing chat plugins.
• Multimodal answers.
• Persistent chat and chat history.

Microsoft Bing Chat will also make its responses more visual, including charts, graphs, images and other formats that are non-text. The platform will soon also make available a visual search in chat, that allows users to search the web using uploaded images. Users will also be able to access chats as they scroll on the web, revisit older chats, and also export and share conversations. 

Recent Updates Announced to Bing Chat

The platform is working on resolving cases where Bing chat unnecessarily ended conversations saying “I’m sorry but I prefer not to continue this conversation” or “It might be time to move on to a new topic.” A certain bug due to which Bing chat in Edge Sidebar was not able to recognize the content in the browser’s active tab has also been fixed.

Additionally, Bing chat now gives better answers to users asking questions about travel or recipe. “For both, we improved the accuracy of citations.  For recipes, we used improved grounding data from recipe content providers and made sure that citations directed you to the recipe site instead of bing.com," says the official blog.
