Massive props to Anthropic for announcing a feature _and_ making it available for everyone right away.
OpenAI is so annoying in this aspect. They will regularly give timelines for rollout that not met or simply wrong.
Edit: "Everyone" = Everyone who pays. Sorry if this sounds mean but I don't care about what the free tier gets or when. As a paying user for both Anthropic and OpenAI I was just pointing out the rollout differences.
Edit2: My US-bias is showing, sorry I didn't even parse that in the message.
- underdeserver 2y agoIt's not available for everyone.
- joshstrange 2y ago> Web search is available now in feature preview for all paid Claude users in the United States. It is for all paid users, something OpenAI is slow on. I pay for both and I often forget to try OpenAI's new things because they roll out so slow. Sometimes it's same-day but they are all over the map in how long it takes to roll out.
- deivid 2y agoFor all paid users _in America_. It's not available for me in Europe.
- joshstrange 2y agoApologies, I updated my original comment, I missed that completely.
- DrammBA 2y agoI think 'For all paid users in the United States' is clearer. I live in America, but not in what the United States considers 'America', so I do not get to use this new feature yet.
- marcellus23 2y agoUsing America as a shorthand for "USA" is hardly limited to people who live in the US.
- op00to 2y agoMight you be able to use a VPN to visit the US (safely!) for a short while? Not sure how Anthropic geolocks.
- mvdtnz 2y agoYou can't be serious with this reply. You simply can not.
- joshstrange 2y agoWhich part? I completely missed the "United States" part and have since updated my original comment.
- bryan0 2y ago> Web search is available now in feature preview for all paid Claude users in the United States. Support for users on our free plan and more countries is coming soon.
- AcquiescentWolf 2y agoPeople outside the US obviously don't exist, therefore the statement is correct.
- mpalmer 2y agoEasy to believe our weak privacy laws are part of the reason we get tech features first. Huzzah...

- willio58 2y ago> OpenAI is so annoying in this aspect. They will regularly give timelines for rollout that not met or simply wrong. I have empathy for the engineers in this case. You know it’s a combination of sales/marketing/product getting WAY ahead of themselves by doing this. Then the engineers have to explain why they cannot in fact reach an arbitrary deadline. Meanwhile the people not in the work get to blame those working on the code for not hitting deadlines
- nilkn 2y agoMany of OpenAI's announcements seem to be timed almost perfectly as responses to other events in the industry or market. I think Sam just likes to keep the company in the news and the cultural zeitgeist, and he doesn't really care if what he's announcing is ready to scale to users yet or not.
- wongarsu 2y agoTo be fair, being in the cultural zeitgeist is a huge part of their current moat. To people in the street OpenAI is the company making LLMs. Sam has to make sure it stays that way
- klabb3 2y agoFake it til you make it vibes. I understand why he would do it, what I find strange is that it inspires confidence in the market.
- gizmodo59 2y agoYou can wait to release something all over the world which will take time because it’s not an engineering issue but a compliance/legal or other types of issue. Or you can iterate faster by doing the minimum and getting feedback and then releasing it in other markets. Not sure what’s wrong with this approach.

- zelphirkalt 2y agoWhen am I getting paid for them gobbling up my code and using it to cash out? It is not so one-sided, this whole matter.
