Improving Web Search Results in GPT-5.3 Instant

Subtext is super important. The information, the answers that you're looking for, change depending on why you're looking for that information. I'm Josh, I'm a researcher on the post training team. And I'm going to talk about what's new in web search. We changed a lot about the tone of responses so it feels a little bit more natural. Before when the model used its search tool, the response could feel like a gear shift. Something a lot more robotic, a wall of links. Whereas now we worked a lot on having it sound like one coherent conversation that would just might have search inside of it. So you brought some use cases for us today. I did, yeah let’s get into them. People use Chat for planning trips all the time, and one of the use cases that I have recently is, “I'm biking from Tokyo to Osaka. How is this May's weather different than previous years? ” So in this old response, it's still saying that it's warmer. But one of the main things that it doesn't talk about is the snowpack, for me is a major worry. Like, if there's still going to be snow in the Alps, that would be something that's trip ending. And so it's great that the new model is actually takes into context that I'm biking and not just a general weather query. My partner really likes baseball. I don't really understand it much. And so I'm just asking “What are some of the rule changes coming to baseball this year? ” the model now is understanding that because I'm asking about these recent rule changes, I probably am a little bit out of the loop on baseball in general, and it gives me this broader picture of an answer how the sport's changing. So right now I have a baseball expert sitting next to me. And she's actually checking the response So would you give your thumbs up? Yeah definitely. Especially for you know a learning fan. Yeah. Very good response. People come to Chat with questions that they really care about, and what we want is for the model to both give you the correct information and also help contextualize it with the same emotional tone that you were having, with Chat.
