OpenAI's Deep Research Now More Affordable, Saving You Hours of Work

Deep Research also shone on Humanity's Last Exam, an AI benchmark from Scale AI and the Center for AI Safety. With a 26.6% accuracy rate, it outdid not just GPT-4o but also other heavyweights like Grok-2, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Gemini Thinking, o1, and o3-mini high. Sam Altman himself tweeted about the impressive jump in performance.
way back on friday, the high score on "humanity's last exam" was o3-mini-high at 13%.
now on sunday, deep research gets 26.6%.

OpenAI's internal and external evaluations further confirm Deep Research's prowess, with top scores on the GAIA benchmark and expert-level tasks across various domains.

Not ready to splurge $200 a month for ChatGPT Pro? No worries. Google offers a similar tool called Deep Research within its Gemini Advanced for Google One AI Premium users at just $20 per month. Sam Altman even hinted that OpenAI's Deep Research was crafted in response to Google's feature.
Meanwhile, xAI's DeepSearch is another contender, available to X Premium and Premium+ users. And let's not forget Microsoft's Think Deeper, which uses OpenAI's O1 model for enhanced reasoning, though it lacks internet access and agentic capabilities. The best part? It's free!

This is a game-changer for my workflow! Finally, a tool that actually understands what 'deep research' means and doesn't just spit out the first three search results. The time-saving potential is huge, especially for academic projects. Curious about the cost structure though—hope it stays accessible for individual users and not just big corporations. 🤔
Ça fait des économies mais aussi gagner du temps, ça parait idéal pour mes études ! Mais c'est juste accélérer la recherche, ou ça risque de remplacer notre propre réflexion à la longue ? 😕
Честно, такая функция для чата GPT выглядит супер удобно для студентов! 😄 Но интересно, как поисковики вроде Google отреагируют? Или это в итоге приведёт к ещё большему инфоперегрузу и проблемам с проверкой данных...
This Deep Research feature sounds like a dream for anyone drowning in data! I love how it cuts hours of work, but I’m curious—can it really dig up obscure sources as well as a human researcher? 🤔 Excited to try it out for my next project!
This Deep Research thing sounds like a total game-changer! I’m curious if it can dig up obscure stuff as fast as it claims. Anyone tried it yet? 🤔
