Theres no two ways about it, theres a newfound sense of urgency at OpenAI. Two days after releasing o3-mini to the world, the company made a surprise announcement on Sunday evening, revealing Deep Research. The new feature allows ChatGPT to find, analyze and synthesize hundreds of websites and online sources to create reports at the level of a research analyst. On top of the usual text questions, users can upload files, including PDFs and spreadsheets, when prompting ChatGPT in this way. The chatbot will then take anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes to compile an answer, a side panel documenting the agents progress and citations as it works. It accomplishes in tens of minutes what would take a human many hours, OpenAI says of the new feature. Our ultimate aspiration is a model that can uncover and discover new knowledge for itself, said Mark Chen, chief research officer at OpenAI, during the companys reveal livestream. Its core to our [artificial general intelligence] roadmap. As far as limitations go, OpenAI says ChatGPT can sometimes hallucinate facts or make incorrect inferences when conducting Deep Research, though at a notably lower rate than other current models. Additionally, the agent may sometimes struggle to differentiate between authoritative information and rumors. Users may also notice some formatting errors. We expect all these issues to quickly improve with more usage and time, the company notes. If all of this sounds familiar, its because Googles Advanced suite includes its own Deep Research feature, which not only shares the same name but broadly offers the same set of capabilities as well. One significant difference between the two is that Google offers access to Gemini Advanced through its $20 per month One AI Premium plan. By contrast, youll need a $200 per month ChatGPT Pro plan to start using OpenAIs version of Deep Research today. Deep research in ChatGPT is currently very compute intensive, the company reasons, adding it will limit Pro users to 100 queries per month. The longer it takes to research a query, the more inference compute is required. OpenAI says its working on a version of Deep Research powered by a smaller, more cost-effective model. In turn, that will allow the company to offer significantly higher rate limits. In the meantime, OpenAI hopes to get the tool in the hands of Plus users in about a month, following a round of safety testing. As with most of the companys other recent releases, European users will need to wait before they can try out the tool for themselves, with Deep Research not yet available to people in the UK, Switzerland and the broader European economic zone.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/ai/chatgpts-deep-research-tool-can-create-reports-from-hundreds-of-online-sources-022223298.html?src=rss

OpenAI (@OpenAI) February 2, 2025 Just a few days ago, OpenAI released its new reasoning model, o3-mini. The company says it produces more accurate and clearer answers, with stronger reasoning abilities than its predecessor, and works with search to find up-to-date answers with links to relevant web sources. CEO Sam Altman and other members of the OpenAI team just held an AMA on Reddit on Friday to discuss the new model. And a week before that, OpenAI introduced its new Operator tool, a Computer-Using Agent that it said can go to the web to perform tasks for you. At the same time, we've seen the sudden rise of DeepSeek, the Chinese AI assistant app that was released at the end of January and spiked in popularity on app stores last week. Following all the initial hype, a report from the Wall Street Journal said OpenAI is investigating whether its models were used to train DeepSeek.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/ai/openai-announces-surprise-deep-research-stream-tonight-220708906.html?src=rss

The long-awaited Powerbeats Pro 2 could make their official debut in little more than a week from now. In the Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman reports that sources have told him the $250 earbuds will arrive on February 11 and boast heart-rate monitoring on top of upgrades like an H2 chip and improvements to noise cancellation. We should also see some new colors, like orange, according to Gurman. Beats first teased the upcoming launch of the Powerbeats Pro 2 back in September, revealing only that theyd drop in 2025, and has since been posting photos on Instagram of athletes rocking them. Apple is also reportedly working on a new event invitation service for iCloud that sounds like it could rival the likes of Partiful and Calendly. The details are scant, but Gurman reports that the iCloud-based service code-named Confetti offers a new way to invite people to parties, functions and meetings. It could be introduced as soon as this week, he notes. Apple recently made some updates to its Calendar app with the rollout of iOS 18, like a new month overview and finally tying in Reminders. Confetti integration could add another convenient planning feature.
