Main two improvements you should see are: - Significant reduction in cases where Bing refuses to reply for no apparent reason - Reduced instances of hallucination in answers

OK, it took longer than we initially expected, but finally Bing Chat v96 is fully in production. Give it a try! Now, onto fully shipping the tri-toggle...

Version 96 of Bing Chat is now live! Hope you enjoyed the previous 95 versions, but 96 is a huge jump. And yes, this is the real Mikhail Parakhin (my boss... the CEO of the MSFT Web Experiences division). He just *really* likes the default Twitter avatar. https://twitter.com/...
