Peec AI: ChatGPT now serves pages from its Labrador index, live fetches plunge
gaganghotra_ · x · 2026-11-09
Peec AI CPO Malte Landwehr details a sustained shift: ChatGPT-User visits fell 81% while OAI-SearchBot rose 97% (100+ sites, Aug 6–Nov 3). ChatGPT now retrieves page content from its own Labrador index/cache instead of fetching URLs live — sometimes 100+ downloads of one page daily before. Alternative explanations (fewer sources, Bing/Exa/Parallel index) are ruled out. Sites now need to be indexed by Labrador to earn AI citations.
