OpenAI recently unveiled a new tool dubbed deep research, and as the name suggests, the tool "conducts multi-step research on the internet for complex tasks." The ChatGPT maker claims what the agent accomplishes in ten minutes would take several hours for a human equivalent.
The announcement comes days after the DeepSeek hype that hit the tech landscape, especially after announcing that its R1 V3-powered AI app was trained using a mere $6 million and the reinforcement learning technique, yet it surpasses OpenAI's o1 reasoning model across several benchmarks, including coding, science, and math. More interestingly, the company claims the agentic AI tool scales great heights, potentially matching the performance index of a research analyst.
