Web search using a ChatGPT-like model that can cite its sources
We’ve trained a generative AI model to browse the web and answer questions/retrieve code snippets directly. Unlike ChatGPT, it has access to primary sources and is able to cite them when you hover over an answer (click on the text to go to the source being cited). We also show regular Bing results side-by-side with our AI answer. The model is an 11-billion parameter T5-derivative that has been fine-tuned on feedback given on hundreds of thousands of searches done (anonymously) on our platform. Giving the model web access lessens its burden to need to store a snapshot of human knowledge…
Web search using a ChatGPT-like model that can cite its sources launched on December 8, 2022 with 318 votes, #52 of 3,688 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was not reachable when checked in September 2026.
In plain words
This is a generative AI search tool that answers questions and retrieves code snippets by browsing the web and citing its sources. Users can hover over answers to see which sources are being cited and click through to the original content. The tool displays AI-generated responses alongside traditional Bing search results. Built on an 11-billion parameter T5-based model fine-tuned from hundreds of thousands of anonymous searches, it prioritizes accuracy and cost-efficiency by accessing current web information rather than relying solely on stored knowledge.
