The descriptions of the product sounded substantially more impressive than the actual samples tbh. Still I think there is a big market for this sort of „go away for 30 mins and figure this out“ style agent

This is 5-10 years out. What OpenAI is displaying here I've been able to do with relatively little code, a bit of scraping and far less capable models for a year. I really don't see what is novel or useful here.

Surprised more comments aren't mentioning deepseek has this feature (for free) already. Assuming this is why OpenAI scrambled to release it. The examples they have on the page work well on chat.deepseek.com with r1 and search options both enabled. Do I blindly trust the accuracy of either though? Absolutely not. I'm pretty concerned about these models falling into gaming SEO and finding inaccurate facts and presentin…

Not really accurate. The "Search" functionality you're describing in DeepSeek is comparable to OpenAI's existing "Search GPT." OpenAI's recent announcement refers to a more advanced capability, similar to Gemini's existing "deep research" feature. DeepSeek's current offerings are significantly more limited in scope.

Are you unaware that there is a "Deepthink (R1)" button right next to the "Search" button on DeepSeek's Chat app. Its been there for some time, even before all the hype regarding R1.

Not sure if people picked up on it, but this is being powered by the unreleased o3 model. Which might explain why it leaps ahead in benchmarks considerably and aligns with the claims o3 is too expensive to release publicly. Seems to be quite an impressive model and the leading out of Google, DeepSeek and Perplexity.

What makes you believe that?

Does anyone actually have access to this? It says available for pro users on the website today - I have pro via my employer but see no "deep research" option in the message composer.

Pro user. No access like everyone else.

OpenAI is very much in an existential crisis and their poor execution is not helping their cause. Operator or “deep research” should be able to assume the role of a Pro user, run a quick test, and reliably report on whether this is working before the press release right?

Has anyone here tried it out yet?

Gemini has had this for a month or two, also named "Deep Research" https://blog.google/products/gemini/google-gemini-deep-resea... Meta question: what's with all of the naming overlap in the AI world? Triton (Nvidia, OpenAI) and Gro{k,q} (X.ai, groq, OpenAI) all come to mind

>Meta question

I think you have to prefix the query with "@Meta AI", hope this helps
