Thank you, Mr. Air, a netizen of CTOnews.com, for your clue delivery! CTOnews.com, May 4 (Xinhua) Microsoft's Bing chat (Bing Chat) service has not released much new news in the past few weeks, and today the company unveiled many new features of the service and announced that Bing chat is now officially in Open Preview (Open Preview) mode, which anyone can use.

Although Microsoft seems to have cancelled the waiting list for Bing chat a few months ago, the company has now officially announced that Bing chat has entered the open preview. You only need a Microsoft account to use Bing chat in an Edge browser on a mobile device or desktop. Microsoft claims that Bing chat currently has more than 100 million daily active users, with a total of more than 500 million chats since its launch. The company also said that since the first launch of Bing chat, the daily installation of Bing mobile apps has increased fourfold than usual.

One of the features that Bing chat users need most is to save previous chat records. Microsoft said today that the feature will be launched "soon" to allow users to pause the chat and then resume the previously paused chat. Microsoft said: "when you want to learn more about something and open a Bing chat result, your chat will be moved to your Edge sidebar so that you can use your chat at any time while browsing the web. Over time, we are exploring to make your chat more personalized, by bringing the context of the previous chat into the new conversation."

Microsoft will also add ways to quickly export and share chat notes, saying: "for those who want to easily share your conversation with others or continue to explore a newly discovered idea, you can export it directly-in the same format to continue in collaboration tools such as Microsoft Word."

In March, Microsoft launched Bing Image Generator, a tool that uses text prompts to generate pictures using generative AI. The company claims that users have generated more than 200 million images with the AI program, and that Bing Image Generator is expanding its coverage to support only English, but now supports text prompts in more than 100 languages supported by Bing. Microsoft also said it is adding visual search to Bing chat so that you can upload pictures in the chat and search Bing for related content. It will also add visual elements to searches in chat, including content such as charts and graphics.

Microsoft also revealed some changes related to its Edge browser. Edge Mobile will also soon support the page context feature so that users can ask questions related to the mobile page they are viewing in Bing chat. The writing function in the sidebar can now also customize drafts based on user feedback, such as tone, length, wording, etc. Bing chat will also improve summaries of large articles and documents in Edge and will introduce what Microsoft calls "Edge operations": "in the coming weeks, people will soon be able to use AI to accomplish more tasks with fewer steps. For example, if you want to see a particular movie, the action in Edge will find and display options in the chat in the sidebar, and then play the movie you want from where available."

Microsoft added that it will continue to monitor the use of Bing chat to ensure the proper use of its AI tool: "together with our OpenAI partners, we continue to implement safeguards against harmful content based on what we have learned and seen in the preview. Our team continues to work to address issues such as misinformation and misinformation, content blocking, data security and preventing the promotion of harmful or discriminatory content, in line with our AI principles. "

Microsoft also confirmed a rumor today that it would soon allow developers to create plug-ins for Bing chat. Microsoft said: "if you study the latest dinner restaurant in Bing chat, it will use OpenTable to help you find and book. Or, with Wolfram Alpha, you can create powerful visualization and get answers to complex scientific, mathematical and data-based human questions directly from Bing chat."

Microsoft said it would work with OpenAI, the team that developed GPT-4, to help add plug-in functionality, and OpenAI has added plug-in support for ChatGPT. Although there is not much information about this, Microsoft said more information will be disclosed soon at the Build 2023 developer conference, which will be held in Seattle from May 23 to 24, most of which will be broadcast live, when CTOnews.com will bring more news.
