Deep Research is an AI agent [1] integrated into ChatGPT, [2] which generates cited reports on a user-specified topic by autonomously browsing the web for 5 to 30 minutes. [3] It can interpret and analyze text, images and PDFs, and will soon be capable of producing visualizations and embedding images in its reports. [4] It is based on a specialized version of OpenAI's o3 model. [4]
Deep Research scored 26.6% on the "Humanity's Last Exam" benchmark, surpassing rivals like DeepSeek's model R1 (9.4%) and GPT-4o (3.3%). [5]
According to OpenAI, Deep Research sometimes makes factual hallucinations or incorrect inferences, [4] can have difficulty distinguishing authoritative sources from rumors, [6] and may not accurately convey uncertainty. [7]
Deep Research is currently offered to ChatGPT Pro subscribers ($200/month), who receive 100 queries per month and for Plus, Team and Enterprise users with 10 queries per month. [7] At the time of release, Deep Research was not offered to the UK or Europe. [8]
