ChatGPT live web browsing exits beta, DALL-E 3 enters beta
OpenAI has brought live web browsing out of beta. The company launched the feature earlier this year before pulling it after the plugin kept gleaning data from paywalled content. In addition, the next-generation image generation tool DALL-E 3, which integrates with ChatGPT for easier prompting, is now available in beta for ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise subscribers. Browse with Bing, as live web browsing is formally called, no longer requires subscribers to switch a beta toggle under the chatbot's settings. The feature matters since, by default, the popular chatbot has a knowledge cutoff date of September 2021, leaving it clueless about current events.
Minecraft's ray tracing exits beta as Nvidia pushes its DLSS advantage
Just in time to spite the Radeon RX 6900 XT launch and drive home the fact that AMD lacks a crucial DLSS equivalent, Nvidia announced a flood of news related to ray tracing and Deep Learning Super Sampling on Tuesday. Minecraft's drool-inducing ray tracing capabilities are exiting beta, though a handful of other games are also adding DLSS 2.0. Minecraft's Windows 10 version is an absolute ray tracing showcase. "Ray-traced Minecraft is glorious to behold, completely altering the look and feel of the game--though this low-fi legend can make even the most fearsome graphics cards sweat when you activate the cutting-edge lighting technology," we said when we evaluated Minecraft's ray tracing beta earlier this year. "Like Quake II RTX, this new-look Minecraft is fully path-traced, meaning that all the lighting in the game comes from ray tracing--shadows, lighting, reflections, materials, you name it," we said.
