#2Since google, everyone trying replicate this feature... (OpenAI, HF..)
It's powerfull yes, so as asking an A.I and let him sythezise all what he fed.
I guess the air is out of the ballon from the big players, since they lack of novel innovation in their latest products.

#3I tried it but it seems to be biased to generate shorter reports compared to OpenAI's Deep Research. Perhaps it's a feature.

#4I tried using this to create a fifty state table of local laws and policies and tax rates and legal obstacles for my pet interest (land value tax) I gave it the same prompts I gave OpenAI DR. Perplexity gave equally good results, and unlike OpenAI didn’t bungle the CSV downloads. Recommended!

#5I'm super happy that these types of deep research applications are being released because it seems like such an obvious use case for LLMs.
I ran Perplexity through some of my test queries for these.
One query that it choked hard on was, "List the college majors of all of the Fortune 100 CEOs"
OpenAI and Gemini both handle this somewhat gracefully producing a table of results (though it takes a few follow ups to get a correct list). Perplexity just kind of rambles generally about the topic.
There are other examples I can give of similar failures.
Seems like generally it's good at summarizing a single question (Who are the current Fortune 100 CEOs) but as soon as you need to then look up a second list of data and marry the results it kind of falls apart.

#6Tried it and it is worse that OpenAI deep search (one query only, will need to try it more I guess...)

Then ChatGPT Deep Research: https://openai.com/index/introducing-deep-research/ - February 2nd 2025

Is there a problem with this if it's not trademarked? It's like saying Apple Maps is the nth product called "Maps".
I, for one, am glad they are standardising on naming of equivalent products and wish they would do it more (eg. "reasoning" vs "thinking", "advanced voice mode" vs "live")

Elicit AI just rolled out a similar feature, too, specifically for analyzing scientific research papers:

You forgot Huggingface researchers - https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/hugging-face-resea...
and BTW - I post an exact same spirit comment an hour ago... So I guess Today's copycat ethics aren't solely for products- but also for comment section . LOL.
