In this week's AI Agents Weekly, OpenAI has introduced Deep Research, an advanced agent integrated into ChatGPT for conducting in-depth research tasks by leveraging online resources and user-provided files. Powered by OpenAI's upcoming o3 model, optimized for web browsing and data analysis, Deep Research has demonstrated remarkable performance improvements, achieving a 26.6% accuracy rate on Humanity's Last Exam and excelling in the GAIA evaluation.
New Features and Capabilities
Deep Research operates by dividing research queries into sequential steps, scouring the internet for relevant information, and generating comprehensive reports with proper citations. It showcases proficiency in complex tasks such as analyzing scientific texts, exploring historic events, and amalgamating data from multiple origins. The agent's functionality extends to reading user-uploaded files, creating data visualizations, and furnishing detailed references for its conclusions.
Initially accessible to Pro users with a limit of 100 queries per month, Deep Research will later become available to Plus and Team subscribers. OpenAI's future plans include rolling out a faster variant with enhanced efficiency and broadening access to specialized data repositories. The development process involved rigorous safety evaluations, categorizing Deep Research as a Medium-risk tool, with continuous monitoring and supplementary protections in the pipeline.
