Business Chief Dave Stephenson said Airbnb uses a mix of open-source and large language models to support those features.

Chesky also said cancellations had been “slightly elevated” in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific because of the war in Iran. The CEO called Airbnb, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABNB) “one of the most resilient” travel companies, and that travelers increasingly book trips closer to departure during periods of economic uncertainty.
