Deep research, according to OpenAI, could locate, evaluate, and synthesize hundreds of internet sources to provide an extensive report in “tens of minutes vs what would take a human many hours.”
The industry leader in generative AI, OpenAI, has introduced a new tool dubbed “deep research” that, according to the company, performs multi-step online research for challenging problems.
“Today, we are launching our next agent capable of doing work for you independently — deep research,” OpenAI announced on Sunday on X.
A version of the future OpenAI o3 model that is tailored for online browsing and data analysis powers deep research.
In order to generate a thorough report at the level of a research analyst, users must prompt OpenAI’s chatbot ChatGPT to locate, evaluate, and synthesize many web sources, including text, photos, and PDFs, according to OpenAI.
“It accomplishes in tens of minutes what would take a human many hours,” stated OpenAI.
“Deep research is built for people who do intensive knowledge work in areas like finance, science, policy & engineering and need thorough & reliable research.”
Early difficulties
Deep research has limitations and is still in its infancy, according to OpenAI.
“It may struggle with distinguishing authoritative information from rumours and currently shows weakness in confidence calibration, often failing to convey uncertainty accurately,” it stated.
According to OpenAI, deep research on ChatGPT’s web version will be accessible starting on Sunday and will be expanded to desktop and mobile apps by February.
In January, OpenAI unveiled a tool called Operator, which can accomplish a number of things like making to-do lists or helping with vacation planning. Deep research is the second AI agent the company has released this year.
