Microsoft has removed the waitlist for the Bing chat, giving everyone access to the new search mode. The Verge<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

Journalists tested it on several accounts. Access to the chat was granted immediately after email verification.<\/p>\n

To use the ‘new Bing’, go to bing.com\/new, click ‘Join the waitlist’ and sign in with a Microsoft account. Access is then opened immediately.<\/p>\n

Microsoft’s head of communications Kaitlin Roulston did not confirm or deny the removal of the waitlist. She said the team continually runs various experiments that could speed access to the search engine.<\/p>\n

“We remain in the preview version, and you can sign up at Bing.com,” said Roulston.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The change to the waitlist operation came just a day after confirmation that the Bing chatbot secretly runs on GPT-4<\/a>. Also on March 16 the company will hold a presentation<\/a> about AI features for the Microsoft 365 suite.<\/p>\n

Corporate vice president Yusuf Mehdi also announced higher limits for Bing. Users can now submit up to 15 queries in a single session and up to 150 messages per day.<\/p>\n

\n

Two updates: Bing Chat limits moving to 15 \/150.<\/p>\n

Testing an optimization on \u201cBalanced\u201d mode to significantly improve perf resulting in shorter, quicker responses. Precise & Creative modes remain unchanged providing a diversity of experiences. <\/p>\n

Let us know what you think.<\/p>\n
