There will be no announcement of an AI-powered search engine to rival Google, at least for the time being.
Sam Altman and the OpenAI team are preparing for a major live announcement, set for 7pm this evening.
It could be the much talked about one ChatGPT based search engine?
It would have been possible, were it not for the CEO’s own denial in a statement on X/Twitter over the weekend, dismissing the rumors leaked by Reuters sources.
In the post that previews the content of the spring event dedicated to developments in artificial intelligence, Altman denied the arrival of GPT-5 as a possible AI-enhanced web search interface; however, he underlined the possibility of something “magical”, probably different from the usual LLM update, hoping that it will be particularly appreciated by users.
From the Open AI top hat
If it is clear what will not be presented, the nature of what the team’s hard work has prepared for today’s announcement and what the company itself defines as “something magical” remains shrouded in shadow.
Considering the sector in which OpenAI operates, it would not be out of place to hypothesize a new tool that exploits AI to multimodal taskssimilar to Google Gemini.
Some unconfirmed rumors hint at the arrival of features for the Vocal recognitionsuch as the ability to interpret the tone of voice of interlocutors during calls and conferences.
As always, caution is needed when speculating on these rumors, and it is best to wait with the right amount of curiosity for the afternoon for the official announcement, which will take place live on the company’s website.

Debuts postponed
The launch of the ChatGPT-based search engine a day before Google’s I/O developer conference was denied, but not the project itself.
OpenAI still seems committed to perfecting its engine, a move that could attract the attention of the Big G, which has never shown indifference towards possible competitors entering its sector.
As stated in the words of a company spokesperson, Google’s eyes remain vigilant in observing the emergence of new tools for web search.
Likewise, the launch of GPT-5 still raises many curiosities, as the OpenAI team still has some way to go before completing the next big step in the field of large language models.
While we wait to discover the innovation that Altman is ready to present today, it is undeniable to consider the unexplored potential of this constantly evolving technology, as demonstrated by the introduction of tools such as Sora AI in the past months, which never cease to arouse interest.
