OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Perplexity AI CEO Aravind Srinivas had a playful exchange on X (formerly Twitter) after Altman announced a new update to ChatGPT. Altman first teased the upgrade, saying, \”It is pretty good. It is soon going to get much better, team is cooking\” Sriniva jumped in with a simple, \”Sorry, what’s the update?\”. Altman replied saying, “among many other things, it’s the best search product on the web! check it out and lmk what you think” PerplexITY has positioned itself as a serious challenger to AI giants like OpenAI and Google, with its focus on deep, expert-level analysis across finance, marketing, health, and more. The tool performs dozens of searches, analyzes hundreds of sources, and compiles detailed reports in under three minutes. It’s free for all users, while paid users get 500 queries per day for $20/month. The new features are available on the perplexity website and will soon be available on iOS, Android, and Mac.
