OpenAI debuts AI research assistant
Here’s the scoop on Deep Research, OpenAI’s game-changing feature:
🧠 What is Deep Research?
It’s a powerful upgrade to ChatGPT designed for extensive research. Think deep dives into complex topics, where it scans texts, images, and PDFs from multiple sources, delivering detailed reports with citations — all in under 30 minutes.
🔍 How It Works:
- Specialized version of o3 handles text, images, and PDFs.
- Users get clarifying questions at the start of research.
- Takes 5-30 minutes per task, with notifications when done.
- Initial rollout is for Pro users at $200/mo (100 queries).
Expansion to Plus and Team users coming soon if safety measures check out.
📊 Why it’s a Game Changer:
- Deep Research nailed 26.6% on Humanity’s Last Exam, crushing models like Gemini Thinking (6.2%) and GPT-4o (3.3%).
- It tackles tasks that take humans days to complete in just minutes.
Combined with Operator, OpenAI’s latest autonomous tool, we’re stepping into a new era of “longer thinking” AI. Instant answers are cool, but imagine the productivity boost when AI can handle the deep stuff too.
This is the future of research and innovation. 🔥
What’s your take on this shift towards more autonomous research tools? Would you try it?

OpenAI last friday released o3-mini, a lean, cost-effective model designed to deliver advanced reasoning capabilities to both free and paid users. 🧠
🔍 What You Need to Know:
- Free-tier users can now tap into reasoning power for the first time. Paid users get up to 150 messages/day with these enhanced capabilities.
- o3-mini excels in math and coding, matching or even outperforming previous models like o1 — and responds 24% faster. ⚡
- Developers can now tweak the ‘reasoning effort’ with low, medium, or high settings to prioritize speed or accuracy for their needs.
- Running costs are slashed by 63%—now $1.10 per million tokens, making advanced AI more accessible without compromising on performance.
📈 Why This Matters:
- DeepSeek may be stealing the spotlight with complex research breakthroughs, but OpenAI isn't slowing down.
- With o3-mini, free-tier users finally get a taste of reasoning AI, setting the stage for the full o3 model release in just a few months.
It’s another step toward democratizing powerful AI tools at scale.
