Summary

  • OpenAI, the creator of the controversial chatbot ChatGPT, has launched Deep Research, a new AI-powered search tool that can analyse text, images and PDFs to compile researched reports.
  • It is based on the company’s reasoning model that has been optimised for web browsing and data analysis, and represents a step towards its goal of creating artificial general intelligence (AGI) that can match or surpass human capabilities.
  • However, like other AI models, Deep Research can hallucinate or generate incorrect information, and responding to queries can be compute-intensive and therefore take up to 30 minutes.
  • Deep Research is currently available to OpenAI Pro subscribers at no extra cost, and will be rolled out to other users shortly.
