Soon after being presented to politicians, policymakers, and officials in Washington, OpenAI unveiled a ground-breaking tool dubbed Deep Research on sunday via a YouTube webcast. sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, announced the microblogging platform X. He wrote, "Today we launch deep research, our next agent....this is like a superpower; experts on demand..it can go use the internet, do complex research and reasoning, and give you back a report...it is really good, and can do tasks that would take hours/days and cost hundreds of dollars."
 
Kevin Weil, OpenAI's Chief Product Officer, highlighted the tool's capabilities at the Washington event, stating, "It can handle complex research tasks that might typically take a person anywhere from 30 minutes to 30 days." Deep Research can complete such tasks in as little as five to 30 minutes, depending on complexity.

The new ChatGPT mode makes a big step toward what OpenAI refers to as "agentic AI"—technology that can execute human-like activities on its own—by enabling the AI to conduct complex, multi-step research over the internet.
 
The model's absence of latency restrictions, which permit real-time data access via the internet, is one of the primary characteristics emphasized by OpenAI. Responses might take longer to create, though, because of this feature. At the live stream, OpenAI developers positioned this development as a step towards achieving artificial general intelligence—AI that can comprehend and perform any intellectual task at a human level. "We believe it's essential for our models to undertake autonomous tasks for extended periods without supervision," they explained.
 
Deep Research is intended to assist those working in knowledge-intensive professions including biology, engineering, finance, and literature. The model will first be available to OpenAI's $200/month Pro subscribers. Within the following month, safety assessments will determine whether to expand distribution to the $20/month Plus tier.
 
Depending on the intricacy of the input, Deep Research jobs might take anywhere from five to thirty minutes due to their high processing needs. OpenAI promised that the model would provide outputs with explicit logic and unambiguous citations, but it also admitted that the technology is still prone to sporadic errors, or "hallucinations," but less frequently than previous ChatGPT models.

This introduction comes after another OpenAI program that can do online operations like ordering takeout and grocery shopping was recently released. This skill is further enhanced by Deep Research, which compiles and synthesizes data from the internet into succinct, thoroughly researched reports.
