Microsoft achieved a lower-than-expected return after investing billions of dollars in Bing Chat, its web search engine with generative artificial intelligence, but the company still has plans to expand the service. On Tuesday (12), an executive confirmed that big tech plans to increase character limit for conversation with the AI.
This information was revealed by Mikhail Parakhin, executive director of Bing, in response to a user of Bing Chat Enterprise — a more secure version of the chatbot with optimizations for corporate use — on X (formerly Twitter). The executive states, on the other hand, that this will be a difficult task, therefore, it may take some time until it is carried out.
It is the same in both Consumer Bing Chat and BCE. We will expand it, but not quickly: all the algorithms are quadratic in context size, so, increasing to 8K would be 4x more expensive.

The maximum number of characters that can be entered in the text box to talk to artificial intelligence is identical in its versions for home and corporate users: 4 thousand characters. Although this is a significant amount for a service of this type, there are use cases that may require more text space.
According to Parakhin, the generative artificial intelligence model used in the service uses quadratic algorithms to analyze contexts, which means that these codes must increase at an exponential rate, therefore, the limit can be increased to 8 thousand characterswhich “would be four times more expensive”, according to the executive.
It is worth remembering that the last time Microsoft increased the maximum number of characters supported by Bing Chat occurred when it raised the limit from 2,000 to the current maximum of 4,000 characters. Previously, the chatbot only allowed 5 interactions per session; Today, it is possible to carry out up to 30 interactions or 300 shifts per day.

Microsoft is also preparing an “Advanced Mode” for Bing Chat, as previously suggested by Mikhail Parakhin. This feature would allow access to more detailed and accurate information from artificial intelligence, as well as new functions that would allow answers to be obtained in a simpler and faster way.
