ChatGPT Plus Users Finally Gain Access to the Deep Research AI Agent
OpenAI recently announced the launch of the Deep Research AI agent in early February. Initially, this cutting-edge tool was restricted to ChatGPT Pro users who were required to have a $200 per month subscription. However, exciting news has arrived as the Deep Research AI agent is now accessible to ChatGPT Plus users for a subscription of just $20 per month. What's more, Deep Research is also being extended to ChatGPT Team, Education, and Enterprise users.
The Power Behind Deep Research AI
If you're unfamiliar with it, the Deep Research AI agent harnesses a refined version of the complete o3 reasoning model. This advanced agent has the capability to autonomously scour the internet and conduct extensive research on any given topic. Within a period ranging from 5 to 30 minutes, it can compile a detailed report enriched with proper citations. Esteemed experts have lauded the Deep Research AI agent as an exceptional tool for scientific exploration. 
Future Prospects and Features
At present, Deep Research stands as the exclusive gateway to the entire o3 model, a status that will persist until the anticipated arrival of the GPT-5 model, which promises to amalgamate o3 with other ChatGPT utilities. For ChatGPT Plus users, it's noteworthy that they can initiate up to 10 queries monthly using the Deep Research agent, whereas ChatGPT Pro users enjoy a cap of up to 120 queries each month.
OpenAI has also enriched the agent by incorporating embedded images, citations, and enhancing its capacity to comprehend and reference uploaded files more effectively. Additionally, OpenAI has published the system card for Deep Research, accessible here. An intriguing development is the cybersecurity risk rating labeled as "Medium," a first for OpenAI in its model evaluations.
