On April 10, 2023, OpenAI introduced a new variant of its GPT-3.5 series model, known as GPT-3.5 with Browsing (ALPHA).
OpenAI’s own release notes do not show any April 10, 2023 launch of a model called “GPT-3.5 with Browsing (ALPHA).” OpenAI announced browsing for ChatGPT on March 23, 2023 and rolled web browsing to Plus users in beta on May 12, 2023.
Full reasoning
OpenAI's official ChatGPT release notes contradict both the date and the product description in this sentence.
- On March 23, 2023, OpenAI wrote: "Introducing plugins in ChatGPT" and described "Browsing: An experimental model that knows when and how to browse the internet".
- On May 12, 2023, OpenAI wrote: "Web browsing and Plugins are now rolling out in beta" to ChatGPT Plus users.
So OpenAI's own timeline shows browsing being announced for ChatGPT on March 23, 2023, then rolled out in beta on May 12, 2023—not introduced on April 10, 2023. The official release notes also describe this as a ChatGPT browsing feature / experimental model, not as a product named "GPT-3.5 with Browsing (ALPHA)".
In addition, later OpenAI release notes instruct users to choose "Browse with Bing" under GPT-4, which further conflicts with the article's claim that this was a GPT-3.5-series model.

On April 27, 2023, OpenAI made the GPT-3.5 with Browsing (ALPHA) model publicly available to GPT Plus users.
OpenAI’s official release notes say web browsing began rolling out to ChatGPT Plus users on May 12, 2023, not April 27, 2023.
Full reasoning
This sentence gives a rollout date that conflicts with OpenAI's own release notes.
OpenAI's official ChatGPT changelog says "Web browsing and Plugins are now rolling out in beta" on May 12, 2023, and specifies that these features were being made available to ChatGPT Plus users over the following week. The same release notes later describe browsing as "Browse with Bing" under GPT-4.
That means the article's statement that OpenAI made a "GPT-3.5 with Browsing (ALPHA)" model publicly available to Plus users on April 27, 2023 does not match OpenAI's published timeline.
