The previously spotted SearchGPT rollout seems to be expanding to more users. There have also been reports confirming that SearchGPT will be available to free users. However, the availability of this feature remains very limited, with only a few reports of people gaining access, and so far, it is restricted to the US.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is SearchGPT no? My ChatGPT app is now giving me properly formatted answers for different types of queries and searching the web in a more search enginey way. pic.twitter.com/9ppjQEJ5Ft

Recently, a free user reported gaining access to SearchGPT. However, their access was limited to a small number of queries, after which ChatGPT prompted them to upgrade. Interestingly, after upgrading, the user lost access to the feature, likely due to different targeting rules for free and plus users in these experiments.
Overall, it appears that SearchGPT is fully ready, and a broader rollout to more users is likely to begin soon. This expansion may also include free users, but the exact timeline and availability remain unclear.
