Microsoft opens Bing AI for public, no waiting list anymore – Times of India

Three months after debuting the new Bing powered by ChatGPT, Microsoft has another big announcement. The initial roll out of the new Bing was restricted and had a waiting list. Now, Microsoft has revealed that Bing will be open for all. Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president, Microsoft said in a blog post, “Today I’m thrilled to share we are moving to the next generation of AI-powered Bing and Edge to transform the largest category of software in the world – search – by greatly expanding the vision and capabilities we think of as Your Copilot for the Web.”


More than half a billion chats

Mehdi said that in three months, Bing users have engaged in over half a billion chats. Not just that but people have created 200 million images using Bing Image Creator, another AI-powered tool. “Bing has grown to exceed 100 million daily active users and daily installs of the Bing mobile app have increased 4X since launch,” said Mehdi.
Users have been, according to Mehdi asking all sorts of questions using the chat feature. These include from finding the best place to travel for someone with pollen allergies, to organising the last 10 years of worldwide volcanic activity into a table. “We’re excited about continuing to make Bing more accessible by its introduction to the Windows taskbar, reaching over half a billion customers every month,” he added.
The new Bing started as a text-only search model but has evolved into offering images and videos in answers as well. Users can move from single use chat/search sessions to multi-session productivity experiences with chat history and persistent chats within Edge.
Microsoft also said that it has been opening up platform capabilities so developers and third parties can build on top of Bing to help people take actions on their queries and complete tasks.
