OPENAI deploys a new function for chatgpt. Called Deep Research, this “in -depth research” tool makes it possible to analyze and synthesize hundreds of sources online to produce complex reports in a few minutes.
The launch of Chatgpt at the end of 2022 completely upset the technology sector. All companies are betting on it to gain popularity and integrate it into their devices and services. The AI giant then launched Searchgpt, a search engine, in order to compete directly Google. But the race for artificial intelligence intensifies with the arrival of the Chinese Deepseek, which offers a powerful conversational robot, developed at low costs and operating with fewer resources, thus questioning the economic model of the sector.
It didn’t take more for Sam Altman to retaliated by revealing, on January 3, 2025, a new “in -depth research” tool for Chatgpt, baptized Deep ResearchIn A live presentation videoonly a few hours before a meeting in Tokyo with SoftBank, its partner in a massive investment program in the United States. He is an advanced research assistant, capable of analyzing and synthesizing hundreds of sources online in just a few minutes. According to Openai, this function would replace hours of human work, by producing relationships comparable to those of a professional analyst. It is currently reserved for pro subscribers for the subscription at 200 euros monthly.
OPENAI Deep Research: an analytical and synthesis function.
Launched this February 3, 2025, Deep Research “Perform in a few tens of minutes which would take many hours to a human”to use the words of its creators. It is enough to give it an instruction, always in a natural language, accompanied by files like PDFs or spreadsheets, so that the AI analyzes and synthesizes hundreds of online sources, in order to generate a full ratio, even integrating quotes and sources. During a live demonstration, the tool compared various ski equipment to offer the best for a trip to Japan, using updated information from the Internet. This tool is aimed above all to professionals in the fields of finance, science, public policies and engineering.
The Deep Research function is based on an optimized version of the Openai O3 model, which specializes in web browsing and data analysis. For the moment, it is limited to 100 requests per month and focuses only on textual outings. The company then plans to add graphic visualizations and access to internal databases to enrich the analytical capacities of the service.
OPENAI Deep Research: a sector with increased competition
The launch of Deep Research intervenes in a context of increased competition with Chinese companies, notably Deepseek, which develops more economical and low-cost conversational models, but also Alibaba, which has just unveiled its QWEN2.5-max, supposed to be even faster and efficient. In an interview with Nikkei, a Japanese economic newspaper, Sam Altman said China was catching up “Significantly” On AI technologies based in the United States. This calls into question the economic model of the sector.
Deep Research questions all the more since it comes directly into competition with Gemini, from Google, which has a similar function bearing the same name, but which is included in a Gemini Advanced subscription, at only 22 euros per month. While having the advantage of being integrated into the ecosystem of the Mountain View firm, which facilitates access to data in real time via Google Search … A price difference that raises questions about the positioning of OPENAI.
