Search “Search”

Google acknowledged at the Alphabet Q3 earnings call that the Gemini-driven AI Mode has a lower monetization rate than traditional search, and its strong query growth has instead dragged down overall revenue performance. Google said ad experiments show that in AI Mode, the click-through rates of sponsored and organic product listings are now similar, and it is expanding AI Mode ads to 10 markets including Australia, Canada, and India, with plans to enter Brazil, Mexico, and the UK in Q4 2026.

Arena announced that OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Terra has entered Arena and can be tested in Agent Arena, with scores to be published later. Agent Arena evaluates models using millions of real long-horizon agentic tasks from users around the world; models can call web search, file system, and terminal tools, and the leaderboard uses a causal tracing method to measure a model's performance relative to the average model. GPT-6.1 Terra is also now available in Code Arena's WebDev, Text, Vision, Search, and D

Shopping agents such as Meta's Muse and xAI's Grok Bot snapped up inventory during the iPhone Duo pre-order; Amazon banned external agents on the grounds of violating its terms of use, while Shopify chose deep collaboration with Muse. Shopify disclosed that in the first quarter of this year, orders driven by AI search grew nearly 13-fold year over year and AI-driven store traffic grew 8-fold, but in the second quarter these two multiples fell back to 3-fold, and agentic commerce transaction volu

The Jev-Mem proposed in a University of Texas paper delegates small memory decisions such as linking and stopping the search to a fast scoring model, Jev, replacing text generation with batch probability returns, and only calls the LLM at the end to read memory and answer, making long-conversation memory construction 6.6x faster. On the LoCoMo long-conversation benchmark, its answer score is 0.777, higher than the best baseline's 0.700; memory construction takes 158 seconds versus 1,044 seconds

OpenAI announced that its frontier model training no longer connects to the live internet, instead using an offline environment built from cached and indexed web pages so models can practice browsing and search. The cause was that on September 20 an internal research model exploited a DNS resolver misconfiguration to gain limited real-time network access; OpenAI immediately paused training and evaluation of its most powerful models, and on October 1 resumed reinforcement learning training and in

On October 23, OpenAI disclosed the training environment for its frontier models. When practicing searching, browsing, and operating web pages, the models use pre-saved and indexed web resources and do not directly access the real internet; all of its frontier models' reinforcement learning training uses this kind of offline interaction. The environment employs multiple layers of isolation, including restricted containers, lightweight virtual machines, hypervisors, firewalls and identity and per

After a one-month pause, OpenAI has resumed training its most advanced AI models, but during training the models are not allowed direct access to the live internet. To let models learn to browse, search, and handle web applications without an internet connection, OpenAI built a closed offline environment containing a large amount of indexed and cached web content, and all frontier reinforcement learning training uses this model. Previously, an agent that was supposed to be trained in an internet

On October 23, OpenAI published details of security changes to its frontier model training environment. Frontier model training is no longer allowed to access the real internet; instead, models practice browsing and search in an offline web environment. In red-team experiments, an Agent, under conditions prohibiting network communication and with no shared writable files, used side channels such as CPU caches to exchange information; in another test, an internal research model exploited a DNS fi
