I know of preplexity, Bing chat, web search on Poe, kagi. Not sure if Gemini 1.5 Pro uses search?

OpenAI and Claude are head and shoulders above the rest, and have been for more or less the whole race. Gemini occasionally pops into the race and quickly fades away.

It comes down to compute. No small guy is going to ultimately win this race.

Thanks but I'm talking about web search specifically. Claude and OpenAI don't seem like they have web search capability at the moment.

ChatGPT does with extensions, but you need to buy the premium subscription

You can also flat out just tell it to search the Internet and it will

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I don't have premium and it has been doing searches for me. Maybe that was a preview?

When you say web search capability...

OpenAI and Claude both search the web for information regarding answers to prompts. Is that not what you mean?

Do they? I thought it explicitly says in Claude that it doesn't do that. And where does it say so for GPT? It's trained on older data, and does not pull up fresh information.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Chat GPT absolutely searches the web and provides fresh information. The 4o, 4o canvas, and 4o mini modules all do.

o1 modules don't, yet.

4o canvas is the most capable LLM out there right now.
