Is live search coming to the API soon - with not Data from 2023

API
1

Hi everyone,

I’m using the API extensively for various projects and have noticed that, as of May 2025, the data still reflects knowledge up to 2023. Is there any information or roadmap available regarding when the API might enable new live searches or integrate more up-to-date data? This would be extremely helpful, especially for use cases that rely heavily on current information.

Thanks in advance for any insights or updates!

Best regards,
Ufuk

How about right now?

That model provides information enhanced by web search, on the Chat Completions API endpoint.

Scraping and cleaning knowledge corpus and pretraining a model and then vetting it for safety is a long expensive process, the reason why the built-in knowledge lags behind.
