Altman, however, confirmed that some new things will be announced during an event on Monday.

“Not gpt-5, not a search engine, but we’ve been hard at work on some new stuff we think people will love! feels like magic to me,” he posted on X.

Altman made the post amid several media reports claiming the IT firm was trying to create its own search engine.

OpenAI is developing a feature for ChatGPT that can search the web and cite sources in its results, according to a person familiar with the matter, potentially competing head on with Alphabet Inc.’s Google and AI search startup Perplexity, Bloomberg had earlier reported.
