Link: ChatGPT’s agent can now do deep research for you

OpenAI has launched a new ChatGPT feature called deep research, designed to autonomously plan, execute, and summarize multi-step information searches complete with citations. This advanced tool allows users to input questions via text, images, or files, responding with detailed findings within 5 to 30 minutes.

The deep research feature adds capabilities such as including embedded images and charts in the future, enhancing the quality of responses. Despite its sophistication, it can sometimes generate inaccurate information, having difficulty distinguishing reliable data from rumors.

Deep research, targeting professional use, is accessible for Pro users now with a monthly subscription of $200 limited to 100 queries. OpenAI plans to expand access to Plus, Team, and Enterprise users eventually, noting that the tool demands significant computational power.

The model behind deep research recently set a record for accuracy in an AI benchmark test, significantly outperforming other versions of GPT models. This reflects its potential precision in handling expert-level queries when enabled with browsing and programming capabilities.

This new feature comes closely after the introduction of Operator, another OpenAI tool that navigates the web to perform tasks, akin to Google's unreleased Project Mariner. Both tools showcase the growing capabilities of AI in handling complex, real-time information tasks.

Ultimately, OpenAI's development of deep research and similar AI tools reflects a continued effort to enhance utility, ensuring their relevance and value in professional settings. #
