In late July, Microsoft confirmed that Bing Chat, similar to ChatGPT, is being tested for select users on third-party browsers such as Chrome and Safari. Now, the company has announced that Bing Chat will be available “soon” on third-party browsers, including both web and mobile devices.Bing Chat is coming to mobile browsers
Microsoft is bringing AI-powered Bing Chat to third-party browsers like mobile Chrome and Safari. Microsoft’s move comes at a time when the new Bing is starting to become more inclusive. Because the company has also brought Bing Chat to desktop third-party browsers. However, “At this stage of our journey, Bing offers the opportunity to demonstrate to a broad audience the incredible value of summarized answers, image rendering, and more,” Microsoft said in a statement. But key core features like longer conversations and chat history remain exclusive to mobile and desktop Edge.
Microsoft made access to Bing Chat available to third-party desktop browsers at the end of July. But this version also had limitations, with the company offering only 2,000 words per prompt in Chrome and Safari, while 4,000 words in Edge. Bing Chat is powered by OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4 but offers more up-to-date information than the system on which it is built, thanks to Bing Chat’s access to Bing Search, which allows the model to access information about events that have occurred since training. In addition to third-party browser access, the latest version of Bing Chat will also offer multi-modal search, meaning users will be able to upload a photo and have the AI answer specific questions about its content.
