AFAIK, no information regarding this has been publicly released. If my assumption that Bing’s AI is somehow worse than GPT-4 is true, then I suspect some combination of three possible explanations must be true:
To save on inference costs, Bing’s AI uses less compute.
Bing’s AI simply isn’t that well trained when it comes to searching the web and thus isn’t using the tool as effectively as it could with better training.
Bing’s AI is trained to be sparing with searches to save on search costs.For multi-part questions, Bing seems too conservative when it comes to searching. Willingness to make more queries would probably improve its answers but at a higher cost to Microsoft.
Do we know whether both use the same amount of compute?
