About Microsoft Bing
Bing pivots from ranking pages to grounding AI, shipping APIs and an open embedding model
Bing is repositioning its search index as the grounding layer for AI assistants rather than a destination for human browsing. Recent shipping reflects this: Web IQ grounding APIs, an open-source embedding model topping MTEB-v2, and AI-citation reporting for publishers in Webmaster Tools. The consumer-facing image-search refresh is the exception in an otherwise infrastructure-and-publisher-tooling agenda.
