Bing’s Major Landmark

Microsoft recently announced Bing Chat, an AI-powered chatbot for its search engine. This announcement stole Google’s thunder and is having a significant impact on Bing’s growth. Bing Chat is positioning Microsoft as a technological leader, and this major AI upgrade is evidently translating into some user growth.

Bing’s Explosive User Growth

  • Microsoft executive Yusuf Mehdi announced that Bing now has 100 million active daily users.
  • This is the first time Microsoft’s search engine has crossed this mark.
  • “This is a surprisingly notable figure, and yet we are fully aware we remain a small, low, single-digit share player,” he added.
  • Mehdi says Bing crossed this threshold “with a little bit of a boost from the million+ new Bing preview users.”
  • He also noted that roughly one-third of the “millions” of active Bing preview users are new to the service.
  • Mehdi also claimed a six-fold increase in daily active users on mobile, in the wake of the new Bing app.
  • However, Microsoft is citing two big reasons for Bing’s overall growth.
  • The first reason is the Edge browser’s continued performance, recording seven quarters of growth.
  • In fact, we praised Edge in a review back in 2019. I also use the browser because I don’t like having all my eggs in the Google basket.
  • The company is also pointing to Bing’s “all-time high” search quality due to a new model.
  • It doesn’t hurt that Microsoft effectively pays you to use Bing.

A Viable Google Alternative? Bing it On!

  • There’s no official word on Google’s daily active users, but Bing’s new figures undoubtedly represent a tiny fraction of Google’s numbers.
  • It also seems wildly optimistic to suggest Bing will threaten Google’s top position in the near future.
  • Microsoft’s search engine has been around since 2009, and it’s long had a reputation as a Wish version of Google.
  • In fact, one of the few cited reasons to use Bing was for adult content.
  • But Bing Chat is clearly positioning Microsoft as a technological leader, and this major AI upgrade is evidently translating into some user growth.
  • This turn of events led Google to unveil an AI-powered chatbot of its own, dubbed Bard.
  • This reveal didn’t go well at the time owing to an incorrect answer.
  • But between a revitalized Bing and rumors of Apple quietly working on a search engine, this is the most vulnerable Google has looked in the search space.

🎵 And staying with Spotify, we’ve got a poll asking you how you listen to music on the service: Do you stick with specific playlists/tracks or do you use recommendations? (Android Authority).

Andreas Eriksen PotatoP hackaday

Are you tired of constantly charging your laptop battery? A Norwegian software developer has created a “laptop” with battery life measured in years. Andreas Eriksen created the so-called PotatoP, which is a quirky pseudo-laptop programmed in the super-old LISP language. The PotatoP is powered by a single-core Arm Cortex-M4F CPU clocked at a screaming 96MHz, while also offering Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. But you’ve also got a 4.4-inch “memory” display here. Naturally, it lacks a backlight. The PotatoP is powered by a 1.2Ah lithium battery and has a solar cell too, with Eriksen claiming up to two years of battery life depending on ambient light conditions. You can check out the YouTube video for a better idea of how it all works.
