ChatGPT can search the web (I just checked in my account). It appears to be available for all users (not just paid): https://help.openai.com/en/articles/9237897-chatgpt-search
I definitely tried to web search with ChatGPT a few weeks ago and it couldn't. I don't think I'm making this up. Unless I suffered a TBI.

#14I wonder if it will actually respect the robots.txt this time.
almost no one does, robots.txt is practically a joke at this point — right up there with autocomplete=off

Search was not removed from ChatGPT, although it can be glitchy at times.
Also not all models support it. I think only gpt-4o and gpt-4o-mini support it, although I haven't triple checked that.

kagi is searching the web for you, and then injecting the results into the context of the prompt.

#17I added this functionality already some time ago in my Claudine agent: https://github.com/xemantic/claudine/ It costed roughly 30 lines of code: https://github.com/xemantic/claudine/blob/main/src/commonMai...
Kind of I guess? You should be more explicit that you're funnelling everything to through jina.ai

#18Aside, does anyone know of an app like Perplexity for surfing the news in a foreign language (language practice)?
Perplexity's "Explore" tab translates its news to your local language, and its curated news items are all pretty interesting, but the problem is that there are so few of them. I seem to get maybe a dozen stories in a day. I paid their subscription for a month just to listen to the news on my walk, but didn't renew because of this.
A foreign news site like BBC Mundo (Spanish) on the other hand barely has any stories outside of a few niches. Its tech section only has a few stories per week.
Hmm, maybe I want a sort of RSS reader that AI-translates stories for me. But I don't really want to maintain a feed myself either.
Apple News would probably do it since they also have good curation, but afaict they still don't support foreign news sources (why???).

#20Couldn't a lot of front-ends using Claude API do this already? What's new?
If that's true, they are using a separate search API to get search results and feed it into a regular Claude API call. The difference here is that Anthropic is integrating it directly, like OpenAI and Google have. It doesn't look like it's in the API yet, but presumably that's coming. Then, as with gpt-4o and the Gemini models, you can make a single API call and it will do the searching for you and incorporate the results.
