OpenAI has unveiled a new AI tool named ‘Deep Research’, designed to automate complex research tasks and provide expert-level analysis in minutes. This tool is a part of OpenAI’s ongoing efforts to enhance its AI capabilities, particularly in response to competition from Chinese startup DeepSeek. ‘Deep Research’ is powered by OpenAI’s latest model, o3, and is capable of analyzing and synthesizing vast amounts of data from various online sources to produce comprehensive reports.
