The tool's primary function revolves around web crawling, a process wherein a bot, often referred to as a web spider, indexes website content across the vast expanse of the internet. This new web crawling endeavor follows OpenAI's recent filing for a trademark application for "GPT-5," the projected successor to the existing GPT-4 model. OpenAI's founder and CEO, Sam Altman, cautioned that the firm is still a considerable distance away from commencing GPT-5 training.
